Bhaumik, Atanu; Peterson, Gregory I.; Kang, Cheol; Choi, Tae-Lim published the artcile< Controlled Living Cascade Polymerization To Make Fully Degradable Sugar-Based Polymers from D-Glucose and D-Galactose>, Reference of 4098-06-0, the main research area is degradable monosaccharide polymer cascade polymerization synthesis.
Monomers derived from glucose and galactose, which contain an endocyclic alkene (in the sugar ring) and a terminal alkyne, underwent a cascade polymerization to prepare new polymers with the ring-opened sugar incorporated into the polymer backbone. Polymerizations were well-controlled, as demonstrated by a linear increase in mol. weight with monomer-to-initiator ratio and generally narrow mol. weight dispersity values. The living nature of the polymerization was supported by the preparation of a block copolymer from two different sugar-based monomers. The resulting polymers were also fully degradable. They underwent fast and complete depolymerization to small mols. under acidic conditions.
