'Polymers from sugars and isothiocyanates: ring-opening copolymerization of a D-xylose anhydrosugar oxetane', <em>Polymer Chemistry.</em>
Abstract
The ring-opening copolymerisation of ad-xylose 3,5-anyhydrosugar with isothiocyanates forms AB-type copolymers with imidothiocarbonate linkages. Block copolymer synthesis, reaction kinetics, polymer degradation and metal absorption are explored.
