Comparison of the effects of using an O-protected versus O-unprotected monosaccharide acrylate on nanoparticle size. (a) Photographs of four different emulsion samples prepared with 20% (by weight) polymer content from 5-O-acryloyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-1-methoxy-β-D-ribofuranose (5) and 5-O-acryloyl-1-methoxy-β-D-ribofuranose (9) as co-monomers with ethyl acrylate. E1: monomer 5 and ethyl acrylate (1:9 by weight). E2: monomer 9 and ethyl acrylate (1:19 by weight). E3: monomer 9 and ethyl acrylate (1:14 by weight). E4: monomer 9 and ethyl acrylate (1:9 by weight); (b) Average particle sizes of these formulations from DLS analysis.
