Synthesis of novel glycopolymer brushes via a combination of RAFT-mediated polymerisation and ATRP

Glycopolymers (synthetic sugar-containing polymers) have become increasingly attractive to polymer chemists because of their role as biomimetic analogues and their potential for commercial applications. Glycopolymers of different structures confer high hydrophilicity and water solubility and can the...
