Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are linear, negatively charged biopolymers that modulate complex biological processes, such as blood coagulation, immune regulation, or viral entry. Their sulfation pattern and chain length govern how strongly they bind to other physiologically relevant species. Most of these…
The synthesis of 9‐methylanthracenyl glycidyl ether (AnthGE) as a crosslinkable monomer that can be applied in anionic ring opening polymerization is reported. Diblock terpolymers of the composition methoxy‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐ block ‐poly(2‐ethylhexyl glycidyl ether‐ co ‐9‐methylanthracenyl glycidyl…
This PhD thesis decribes the synthesis and self-assembly of amphiphilic, polyether-based diblock terpolymers. The hydrophilic block of the block copolymers consists of PEO. Different monomers were incorporated into the hydrophobic block to enable the generation of micelles of different morphologies (spherical…
