Abstract

We present the first detailed report of the synthesis of Wulff-type styrenic monomers and their polymerization by radical addition− fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) methods. The resulting polymers and block copolymers exhibit sugar-responsive solubilization in aqueous buffer solutions (pH= 7.4− 7.8) in the presence of monosaccharides such as d-fructose and d- glucose.
