Abstract

In this study the methods of synthesis of hydrophilic aldehyde-bearing polymers and copolymers based on 2-deoxy-2-methacrylamido-D-glucose have been developed. Polymers with controllable aldehyde group content were synthesized via free-radical polymerization and subsequent polymeranalogous modification. The water-soluble polymers obtained were investigated in view of their capacity to be adsorbed on two commercial mineral supports used in bone tissue engineering. Besides, cytotoxicity of synthesized polymers was tested. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008
