Abstract

The present invention concerns polymers of unsaturated saccharides and their derivatives which contain a double bond in the ring (endo-cyclic) or on the ring (exo-cyclic). It further concerns copolymers having ethylenically unsaturated compounds. The unsaturated saccharides are ethylenically unsaturated monosaccharides, disaccharides or oligosaccharides which contain a double bond in the ring (endo-cyclic) or on the ring (exo-cyclic), chemically protected or unprotected, enzymatically or chemically modified unsaturated mono, di or oligosaccharides or mixtures of said compounds. The ethylenically unsaturated compounds are selected from the group containing: (a) monoethylenically unsaturated C3 - C10 carboxylic acids and their alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts; (b) monoethylenically unsaturated C3 - C12 carboxylic acid esters; (c) acrylic or methacrylic acid dialkylaminoalkyl esters with a total of up to 30 carbon atoms in the dialkylaminoalkyl residue and which may be present in the N-quaternary or salt form; (d) acrylic acid amides, methacrylic acid amide, N-(dialkyl)-acrylic or methacrylic acid amide; (e) N-vinylimidazoles which may be substituted on the heterocyclic ring by up to three C1 - C12 alkyl residues and may be present in the N-quaternary or salt form; (f) five to eight-member N-vinyllactams which may be substituted on the ring by up to three C1 - C12 alkyl residues; (g) maleic acid anhydride, maleic acid dialkyl ester which may be present with a total of up to two carbon atoms in the alkyl residue; (h) styrene which may be substituted on the aromatic ring by up to two C1-C3 alkyl residues; (i) acrylnitrile, methacrylnitrile; and (j) N-vinylpyridines which may be substituted on the heterocyclic ring by up to four C1- C12 alkyl residues and may be present in the N-quaternary or salt form.

Depending upon the nature of the monomers and co-monomers used,the polymers according to the invention find use- as active material components, industrial 218~32~

ad,~uvsnts, such a3 e.g. thickening ag~nts, dispersing agent3, for the increasing-of viscositg or in the phsrmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic field.
Furthermore, the new pol~mers are suitat~le as 5 components f or adhesive6 a~d f or the reduction of ~ow resistance ~he biocompatibility offers especial advantages in ?astes, salves, ~ oint coYerings, contact lenses, ad~uven~ts in biotech~ology, e.g. chromato-grsphy .
Dependimg upon the desïred properties, products can be desired of relatively low molecular weight (less tham about 20,000), average molecular weight (about 20,000 to lOOtO00), e.g. for the ad~ustmanet of correspondingl~r desired viscos~ties, or high molecular 15 weight (above 100,000), e.g with high viscosity insolution at low concentration.
In addition, such di~ferent, specifically produced molecular weights can be desired in the case of use as material components since, as is known, the structure-20 property relationships pl ay a great part.
Fur~hermore, the inventio~ concerns a process forthe preparation of these polymers a~d their character-isation .
~ he polymer ~ormation with the mentioned saccharide 25 derivstives according to (A) has hitherto not ~een described. ~rom this field, in the ~iterature only 4 c, ,c~tions are known from whicb it follows that 3 glucose derivatives with double bond in the ring, ~ 218S321 so-called D-~,lucal derivatives, can be co-polymerised with maleic acid anhgd~ide a~d thereby ~orm oligomers with low molecular weight (Y, Koyama, M, Kawata and K.

21~3211 ~his task is soLved by the features of t~e main claims and promoted by the subsidiary cLaims.
d series o~ new, surprising findings could be achieved which, starting from the prior srt, were not 5 to be expected, - It is possible to obtain homopolymers from unprotectsd ' and protected unsa~urated ssccharide derivatlves.
- Sugar derivatives with doubLe bond in various positions in or on the ring can be (co)polymerised.
10 - It was sho~n that monomers, which themselves poLg-merise, can be brought to co-polgmerisstion with sugar derivatives of the tgpe (A) as co-monomers.
- ~!here csn be prepsred not onlD ~ow molecular oligo-meric products but slso high moleculsr po~gmers or co-pol;ymers (with molecular weights sbove 10,000 ~alt on ), All these (co)poLgmerisations lead to previousLg unknown products.

I'he radical polymerisation can be carriea out in the presence of or also in the absence of i~ert or polar solvents, as well as in aqueous s~stems. ~he 5 polymerisation in the absence of solvents, briefly called substance or melt polymerisation, is carried out in a vacuum.
Since this technique is not convertable into a large sca~e, the solution polymerisation in solvents lO Or in water is preferred. In this case, the compounds mentioned under (A) and (B) and the polymer f ormed are present in dissolved f orm. Suitable i~ert solvents are, ~or example, benzene, toluene, o-, m-, p-xylene and their i30mer mixtures, eth;ylbenzene, tert.-butyl-15 benzene, chlorobenzene, o-, m-, p-dichlorobenzene, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, dodecane, cyclohexane, as well as mixtures of the said hydrocarbons. ~urthermore, there are suitable chlorohydrocarbons, such 89 ch~oroform, carbon tetra-20 chlori~e and dichloromethane. As polar solvents, thereare suitable dimethyl sulphoxide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, butanone and acetone, as well as mixtures of the said polar solvents.
With polar water-soluble sugar monomers, the 25 polymerisations are preferably carried out in aqueous media .
I~ the case of smaller batches, in which a sure removal of the heat of pol;pmerisation is ensured, the _ 218~32~

reactio~ participants can be polymerised discontinuously i~ that the reaction mixture is heated to the polgmer-isation temperature. As a rule, this temperature lies in the range of 20 to 150C and especiallg preferabl;sr 5 between 40 to 130C. As soo~ 8S the temperature i~ the case of the polymerisation lies above the bpiling point of the inert solvent or of the m~nomers (A) a~d/or (B), the polgmerisstion is carried out under pressure. In this case, the conce~tration of the cDmponents (A) and 10 (B) amounts to 10 to 90, preferably 20 to 70 mol %.
I~he polymerisation can be carried out continuously.
l?or this purpose, there can be used especisllg the continuous polgmerisation at temperatures of 50 to 130C Under these polymerisation conditions, o~e uses 15 catalgsts which f orm radicals, e .g. i~or~anic and prgs~ic peroxides, persulphates, a~o compounds and so-called redox catalysts. As radical-forming initiators, there are preferably suitable all compounds which, at the chosen polymerisation temperature, hsve 20 a ha~f life time of about 3 hours.
If one first starts the polymerisatio~ at 10W
temperature and leads to the end at higher temperature, it is expedient to work with at least two initiators decomposing at different temperatures, namel;sr, at 25 first to begin with an initiator breaking down at low temperature and then to carr;~ out the main poly-merisation to the end with an initiator which breaks down at higher temperature 2~ 8~32 ~

Referred to total monomers used in the case of the po~ymerisation, one usies 0.01 to 20, preferably 0.1 to 10 mol % o~ a polymerisstion initiator or OI a mixture of several polgmeri3ation initiators One can use water-soluble or water~insoluble initiators or mixtures o~ water-soluble and water-insoluble initiators. The initiators insoluble in water are then soluble in the organic phsse.
For the temperature ranges given in the f ollowing, one can, for e2~ample, use the initi2tors stated there~or:
Temperature: 40 to 60C
acet;srlcyclohexanesulphon;~l peroxide, diacet;srl-, dicyclohe~c~l-, di-2-ethylhexyl perox;ydicarbonate, tert.-but~l-, tert.-amyl perneodecanoate, 2,2'-azo-bis-(4-methoxg-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrocbloride, 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)-propane) dihgdrochloride;

~emperature: 80 to 100C
dibenzoyl peroxide, tert.-butylper-2-eth;srl hexanoate, tert.-butyl permaleinate, dimethyl-2,2'-azo-bis-iso-but;yrai~e, sodium persulphate, potassium persulphate, ammonium persulphate;

p-menthane, pinane, cumol snd tert.-butyl hydro-~0 peroxide.
If one wishes to reduce the half life times o~the stated radical-forming initiators, in addition tD
the mentioned ini~iators one also uses sslts or complexes of hesvg metals, e.,g. copper, cobalt, ~5 m~n~nf ~e, iro~, vsnsdium, nickel or chromium sslts, or organic compounds, e.g. benzoi~, dimethylaniline or sscorbic scid.
~ he reducing components of redox cstalysts can be formed, for exsmple, from compounds such 8S sodium 20 sulphite, sodium bisulphite, sodium formaldehyde sul~hacglate or hydrazine.
As- redox components, one adds 0 01 to 50 mol % of the reduci~g-acting compounds. ~eavg metals are used in the ra~ge of 0.1 to ~00 ppm, preferablg of 0.5 25 to 10 ppm. It is often of advantage to use a c ombination of peroxide, reducing agent and heavy metal as redox catalgst. I'hus, one csn, for example, alreadg so activate tert.-butyl hydroperoxide with 21~53~1 the ~ddition of 5 ppm copper III acetDlacetonate or cobalt Octanoate that one can alresdy polymerise at 100C, ~he solution polymerisation usuallg takes place in an inert gQS atmosphere with exclusion of atmospheric oxygen and moisture. The solvents are freshl~ distilled and degassed immediately be~ore the polymerisation.
The monomer compounds given under (A) and (13~ are verg pure, water- and stabiliser-free~ As alreadg mentioned, the monomers (A) and (B) 8re pregent in dissolved form, During the pol;ymerisation, care is taken f or a good mixing up of the reaction participaLts.
~he preparation of the polgmers according to the invention can be carried out in usual polDmerisation devices. Eor this purpose, one uses, for example, agitator vessels or double-walled reactors which are equipped witb anchor, paddle, impeller or multi-step impulse countercurrent stirrers.
Pr~paration processes:
The polgmers according to the invention can be prepared bg polgmerisation in substance or solution polgmerisation of the components (A) or (A) and (B) in non-polar or polar solvents~ wherebg the solution polymerisation in water or water-alcohol mixture is especially preferred.
In the case of solution polymerisation in aqueous medium, the unprotected water-soluble sugar monomers (A) and possibly with polar co-monomers (B) and the 21~321 water-soluble initiator are present in di6solved form.
The polymerisstion reaction i8 carried out under the same conditions (temperature, initiator concentratiOn, monomer ratio) as in the case of the polgmerisation 5 in solvents~
The polgmers according to the invention can also be prepared in alcoholic agueous solution. In this case, there are present the alcohol portions of 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 20 wt.g~. As alcohol, there are 10 suitQble methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propsnol, as well as mixtures of the said inert solvents.

15 Isolation ~nd characterisation of the pol;ymers according to the invention:
The chain reactions were stopped by addition of inhibitors, such as e.g. hgdroquinone or pDro-catechol. I~he po~ymers formed are isolated ~9 20 precipitating out (in the ten~old parts b;st volume of the precipitation asent) and filtration. In general, methanol, ether, diethgl ether, hexane or their mixtures were used as precipitation agent.
