Abstract

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is a mostly biologically inert material that has many applications as a biomaterial . The ability to functionalize PMMA with carbohydrates easily and at a low cost is of great interest because of their possible commercial applications. It has been shown previously that synthesis of PMMA monomers with carbohydrate functionalities is possible, but most procedures are costly and time consuming. Here is shown a facile and inexpensive procedure for the synthesis of two PMMA monomers with carbohydrate functionalities.
