Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Hybrid star polymers grown from carbohydrate clusters. The aim of the project is to make complex polymer architectures based on stars grown from sugar clusters. The star molecules are expected to have unique properties for transporting guest molecules in drug delivery systems. The outcome will be the development of totally biodegradable, non-toxic cluster/star structures capable of complexing to drugs. This is the first attempt to utilise these clusters, with sugar-based vinyl monomers for star synthesis.
