Glucosyloxyethyl methacrylate (GEMA) was copolymerized with butyl acrylate (BA) for the preparation of a biomedical pressure‐sensitive adhesive with pendant monosaccharides, for possible use in medical applications. The measurements of 180° peel strength, ball tack, and holding power for the GEMA–BA copolymer films revealed that the film at the GEMA content of 5 mol % has excellent pressure‐sensitive adhesive properties. Protein adsorption onto the GEMA–BA copolymer film hardly occurred due to very low interfacial free energy between its surface and water. Release profiles of vitamin B 12 from the GEMA–BA copolymer film suggests that it is useful as a material for a transdermal therapeutic system. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
