title: Synthesis of thiol-linked neoglycopolymers and thermo-responsive glycomicelles as potential drug carrier.
abstract: Homopolymer and block copolymer bearing carbohydrate side chain functionality were obtained by grafting glucothiose onto alkene functional scaffolds via a thiol-ene click reaction and the resulting copolymer was used to form thermo-responsive micelles as a potential drug carrier.
