Abstract

Living radical polymerization of 3-O-methacryloyl-diaceton-D-glucose was carried out by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method with an alkyl halide/copper-complex system. The effect of initiators, catalysts, ligand, and temperature on polymerization was studied in detail. Under the optimum condition, the time-conversion first-order plot was linear and the polydispersity of giycopolymer is relatively low, indicating that the polymerization is well controlled.
