Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Hybrid star polymers grown from carbohydrate clusters

碳水化合物簇合物新型杂化星形聚合物的合成与表征。该项目的目标是以糖簇中生长的恒星为基础，制造复杂的聚合物结构。星形分子有望在药物输送系统中具有运输客体分子的独特性质。其结果将是开发出完全可生物降解的、无毒的能够与药物络合的簇状/星形结构。这是首次尝试利用这些以糖为基础的乙烯基单体来合成恒星。

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.
