A series of (meth)acryl and maleinimide derivatives of acetylated mono- and disaccharides as well as macromonomers based one cellulose triacetate blocks were synthesized. After radical polymerisation the protecting groups were removed to yield glycopolymers. Hydrophilic silicone rubbers for medical uses were prepared by covalent incorporation of trimethylsilyl (TMS) protected sugar derivatives and subsequent removal of the TMS groups. Azido substituted sucrose was grafted photochemically onto polypropylene surfaces to enhance their wettability. Hydrogels prepared from sucrose methacrylates were reacted with succinic- and maleic acid anhydride to yield efficient adsorbers for bilirubin.
