Polymers become more important in everyday life. Although extremely useful in their life cycle, polymers
become long-term pollutants. Worldwide, along the increased research in the environmental field, one can
obviously observe a keen interest into new biodegradable and biocompatible plastic materials. This paper
presents the synthesis and characterization of a new class of biodegradable copolymers based on
carbohydrates. An oligomer was synthesized by the polycondensation of 3-benzyl-5,6-(bis(maleyloxy))-1,2-
isopropylideneglucofuranose with propane-1,3-diol in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid and then it was
copolymerized with hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, using benzoyl peroxide as initiator.
The oligomer was characterized by FTIR, NMR spectroscopy and HPLC-MS, and the copolymers were
analyzed using FTIR and thermogravimetry.
