Popis:	A novel carbohydrate containing monomer was prepared by simple reaction of 2-vinyl-4,4′-dimethylazlactone (VDMA) and 1,2;5,6-diisopropylidene-α- d -glucofuranose (DAG). The monomer was easily homopolymerized as well as copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) to give high molecular weight polymers using free radical conditions. Upon removal of the isopropylidene groups from the polymer, water contact angles decreased for polymeric films of the material, indicating a more hydrophilic surface. The addition of a carbohydrate moiety to MMA copolymers increases its hydrophilicity and allows for potential use of the new polymer as a biomaterial in a variety of applications.
