Abstract

The present study has demonstrated that novel acrylic glycopolymers are successfully prepared by using monosaccharides containing an acrylate group (9-12). For this purpose, sugar based acrylate monomers were synthesized via ring opening method (Method B) and homopolymerization of this sugar oxypropylacrylates was performed using free radical polymerization. The characterization of all the monomers and polymers were verified by ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR, FTIR and GPC techniques. The Glass transition temperatures and thermal characteristics of the polymers were also analyzed by using DSC and TG techniques. The thermal stability of prepared polymers have changed with the stereochemistry of the carbohydrate moiety. Also, the molecular weight of the polymers has affected the thermal stability.
