POLY 45 |
| Graft copolymer of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with sugar-carrying methacrylate, 3-O-methacryloyl-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucofuranose (MAIpGlc) was synthesized via the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique using commercial PVDF as macroinitiator. After treated with 88% formic acid, the isopropylidenyl groups of the precursor graft copolymer (PVDF-g-PMAIpGlc) were converted to the hydroxyl groups, thus producing the amphiphilic graft copolymer (PVDF-g-PMAGlc) with glycopolymer side chains and narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn<1.29). |
