Title: Applying 'click' chemistry to polyurethanes: a straightforward approach for glycopolymer synthesis
Author(s): Ott, Christina; Easton, Christopher D.; Gengenbach, Thomas R.; McArthur, Sally L.; Gunatillake, Pathiraja A.
Abstract: We report a facile synthetic route to prepare polyurethanes with pendant sugar-moieties in the side-chain of the polymer through incorporation of diverse chain extenders capable of undergoing either copper catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition or thiol-ene click reactions.
