Abstract: Since the existence of sugar groups, glycopolymers can mimic the biological functions of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Recent developments in precision polymerization have made it possible to design glycopolymers of controlled structure and chemical composition. Glycopolymers exhibit sophisticated functions have attracted more and more attentions. Novel glycopolymers containing polyelectrolyte were successfully synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. The architectures of the glycopolymers were confirmed by 1H NMR and GPC. DLS and zeta-potential tests were also performed to investigate the solution properties of the glycopolymers. We found that the novel glycopolymers exhibit multi\|temperature responsive property.

Key words: Glycopolymer, Temperature-responsibility, Polyelectrolyte, Zeta potential
