To accelerate the biodegradability of poly(vinyl acetate)‐based emulsions, emulsion copolymerizations of vinyl sugars, including triacetylated N ‐acetyl‐ D ‐glucosamine (GlcNAc)‐substituted 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (GlcNAc(Ac) 3 ‐substituted HEMA), glucose‐substituted HEMA (GEMA) and 6‐ O ‐vinyladipoyl‐ D ‐glucose (6‐ O ‐VAG) with vinyl acetate (VAc), were carried out using poly(vinyl alcohol) as an emulsifying agent in the presence of poly[(butylene succinate)‐ co ‐(butylene adipate)] [poly(BS‐ co ‐BA)]. Copolymerization with GEMA produced a stable emulsion and that with 6‐ O ‐VAG also produced a homogeneous emulsion. Their biodegradation tests indicated that PVAc main chain scission was accelerated by copolymerization with vinyl sugars.
