This review covers the literature concerning the modification of polysaccharides through controlled radical polymerizations (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to well‐defined polysaccharide‐based macromolecules (block and graft copolymers) and graft‐functionalized polysaccharide surfaces as well as the applications of these polysaccharide‐based hybrids are extensively discussed.
