Abstract
The conjugates of polyester and glycopolymer were synthesized using poly(lactide) macromer. The macromer of poly(lactide) was synthesized by the ring opening polymerization with hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and the macromer was co-polymerized with alpha-glucosyloxyethyl methacrylate (GEMA) with radical initiator. The physical properties of poly(GEMA)-poly(lactide) was dependent on the monomer ratio in the polymer. The conjugate showed the specific affinities to the alpha-glucose recognition lectin.
