Summary The present study is focused on the synthesis of polymers starting from renewable resources. The two monomers were prepared by reaction of the corresponding derivative of glycerol (2,2‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dioxolane‐4‐yl‐methyl acrylate) and glucose (3‐O‐acryloyl‐1,25,6‐di‐O‐isopropylidene‐α‐glucofuranose) with acryloyl chloride, M1 and M2. Different molar ratio were used for the copolymers synthesis (M1:M2=3:1 and 5:1). The homo and co‐polymerization processes were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Based on DSC data the activation energies were estimated by the following methods described by: Kissinger, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose (KAS) The thermal stabilities of the resulting polymers were evaluated from the thermo gravimetrical (TG) analysis.
