Synthetic Polymers as Analogs of Polysaccharides
Abstract
The major thrust of this program was to make and characterize hydrophilic hydroxy polyethers which are interesting analogues of the important naturally occurring polysaccharides. The work, as described below, centered largely around the synthesis, properties and mechanism aspects of poly(3,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)oxetane), (PBHMO) and poly(3-hydroxyoxetane) (PHO). Two U.S. patents were filed and two publications were prepared. Keywords: Chemical analogs, Bicycle orthoesters, Tetrahydrofuran, Hydroxypolyethers, Polyoxetanes, Cellulose analogs.
