Abstract
AbstractNew amphiphilic poly(vinylsaccharide)s (poly(7) and poly(8)) were synthesized. Various alkylamino substituted mono‐ and disaccharides 3 and 5 were obtained by reductive amination of reducing mono‐ and disaccharides with alkylamines. The reaction of these monofunctionalized sugar derivates with 2‐isocyanatoethyl methacrylate (2) leads to well‐defined monomers (7 and 8) of the urea type. The monomers were polymerized in aqueous solution to high‐molecular‐weight polymers, using the redox initiator system (NH4)2S2O8/Na2S2O5. The influence of structural variations by changing the hydrophilic sugar moiety or the lipophilic alkyl part was studied by viscometry, light scattering and measurements of the surface tension.
