Book chapter of

Engineered Carbohydrate-Based Materials for Biomedical Applications.

This book addresses the need for a comprehensive book on the design,
synthesis, and characterization of synthetic carbohydrate–based
polymeric materials along with their biological applications. The first
two chapters cover the synthesis and self–assembly of glycopolymers and
different techniques for creating these synthetic polymers. Subsequent
chapters account for the preparation of block copolymers, branched
glycopolymers, glycosurfaces, glycodendrimers, cationic glycopolymers,
bioconjugates, glyconanoparticles and hydrogels. While these chapters
comprehensively review the synthetic and characterization methods of
those carbohydrate–based materials, their biological applications are
discussed in detail.
