## Abstract Graft copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on a chitosan backbone (PEGโgโchitosan) have been synthesized and their aqueous solution properties were investigated. At pH 6.5 the graft copolymers are 100% soluble, while chitosan phase separates from solution at those conditions. These

## Abstract A new synthesis of amphiphilic biodegradable copolymers consisting of hydrophobic poly(3โhydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) backbone and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) units as side chains is described. Poly[(3โhydroxyoctanoate)โ__co__โ(3โhydroxyundecenoate)] (PHOU) was first methanolyzed
The melting and crystallization behavior and phase morphology of poly(3hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(DL-lactide)-co-poly(ethylene glycol) (PELA) blends were studied by DSC, SEM, and polarizing optical microscopy. The melting temperatures of PHB in the blends showed a slight shift, and the melting
## Abstract A twoโstep procedure was used to synthesize the cellulose acetate butyrate and poly(ethylene glycol) graft copolymer (CABโ__g__โPEG). By choosing the appropriate composition, the crosslinked graft copolymer or not could be obtained. Then, the CABโ__g__โPEG copolymer was blended with pol
Poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of dimethyl terephthalate and excess ethylene glycol with 10- 40 mol% (in feed) of poly(ethy1ene glycol) (E) and poly(tetramethy1ene glycol) (B), with molecular weight (MW) of E and B 200-7500 and 1000, respectively. The
