6 Perspectives
The fine understanding of copolymerization mechanisms should be ex-
tended using the same methodology to the microstructural study of co-
polymers with more complex structure such as sugar-based copolymers
as well as polymer networks from multifunctional monomers.
Polymer networks were obtained from multifunctional monomers
such as hybrid donor-acceptor monomers or multiallyl xylose. The re-
sulting materials exhibit interesting mechanical and thermal properties,
particularly those obtained from the blend TAX-DEF4 which shows high
conversion of the acceptor unsaturations. The methodologies developed
in our group as well as the results obtained during the present study open
a new path towards carbohydrate-based materials designed for specific
applications. Amphiphilic gels for optical and biomedical applications
are worth being considered in that perspective. Another orientation is
the crosslinking polymerization of sugar-based vinylethers which have
never been studied so far and should exhibit novel features (including
reactivity and network properties) resulting from strictly alternating
copolymerization.
