The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

Interest in the development of new hybrid materials based on natural polysaccharides has
grown exponentially in the last decade. Such materials are commonly obtained by the graft …

Glyco-nanostructures, nano-objects obtained from the self-assembly of amphiphilic
copolymers containing natural polysaccharides called glycopolymers, are promising …

Frequently, the classical self-assembly techniques applied to amphiphilic glycopolymers
lead to primitive morphologies, ie spherical micelles/nanoparticles. Herein, we report a facile …

We exploited organic photo-redox-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (O-ATRP)
to synthesize a thermo-responsive polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution. Poly …

Inclusion of various polymeric chains with different lengths and functionalities (such as
hydrophobic, ionic, acidic, basic, etc) into polysaccharide backbones leads to new polymeric …

Serum stability is a crucial factor for ideal polymeric gene vectors. In this work, a series of
serum-tolerant and low-toxicity glycopolymers/poly (ethyleneimine)(PEI) complexes were …

The sulfated marine polysaccharide fucoidan has been reported to have health benefits
ranging from antivirus and anticancer properties to modulation of high blood pressure …

An effective, polysaccharide-based water-soluble disinfectant was produced by chemically
modifying gum arabic (GA) through various substitution reactions. This food-grade and non …

Glycopolymers based on dextran are frequently prepared via ATRP, whereas the use of
RAFT polymerization is strangely limited due to the difficult synthesis of Dextran-based …
