Abstract
This chapter presents a review of the different types of conjugates that have been manufactured using polymers of natural and synthetic origin. It first describes some of the most commonly used polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, natural polymers including chitosan, alginate, etc. Subsequently, the reactions to carry out the synthesis of the conjugated polymers and of the different materials that can be formed as nanoparticles, micelle dendrimers, etc. are referred to. At the end of the chapter, we can see the conjugated polymers that are being commercialized to date and some works that have been carried out by researchers with different conjugated polymers applied to different areas but all focused on biomedicine.
