Precise synthesis of poly(macromonomer)s containing sugars by repetitive ring-opening metathesis polymerisation†
Abstract
Various poly(macromonomer)s containing sugars have been prepared by ROMP of norbornene macromonomers substituted with ROMP block copolymers containing acetal-protected sugars as the side chain, which upon removal of the protecting group affords a novel amphiphilic architecture.
