Schematic showing the synthetic strategy for incorporating carbohydrate functionality onto the surface of a polystyrene-based polyHIPE (SDE-polyHIPE). Step 1 involves the incorporation of PFPA into the material to leave pendent ester functionality (PFPA-SDE-polyHIPE). Step 2 then involves a coupling reaction between the ester functional groups on the polyHIPE and the aminoethyl glycosides (1) and (2). Reaction (i) conditions: AIBN, 60 °C, and 24 h. Reaction (ii) conditions: DMF, 40 °C, and 48 h.
