Poly(ethylene‐ co ‐vinyl alcohol) was modified by the covalent bonding of a glucose ester via acetal formation of a surface hydroxyl group using acid as the catalyst. Grafted copolymers were characterized by 1 H‐NMR, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
