## Abstract Graft copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on a chitosan backbone (PEG‐g‐chitosan) 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 Polystyrene‐__graft__‐poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers (PS‐__g__‐PEG) were successfully synthesized using the “grafting‐through” method. The graft copolymers and the surface properties of their coats were characterized by1H‐NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning
## Abstract Biodegradable tri‐component graft copolymers, chitosan‐poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐poly(ethylene glycol) (CPP), were synthesized via a mild route, using sodium dodecyl sulfate‐chitosan complex (SCC) as a precursor. Both PCL and PEG could be conveniently conjugated to the hydroxyl sites of chit
## Abstract **Summary:** PEG was grafted onto chitosan regioselectively at the hydroxyl groups with phthaloylchitosan as an intermediate. After the graft reaction, the phthaloyl groups were deprotected to give chitosan‐__g__‐PEG copolymers with free amino groups. The chemical structure of the graft
## Abstract Cellulose‐__graft__‐poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers were synthesized, and the thermal properties of the copolymers were investigated. The cellulose‐__graft__‐poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers showed solid–solid phase‐transition behavior with a high thermal storage density and good therm
