Graft copolymers containing poly(ethylene oxide) as side chains attached to the backbone have attracted significant interest because of their unique properties. They have expanded a class of materials important for science and biomedicine. This review article describes a variety of synthetic procedures, i.e. directly by the macromonomer method or by the ‘grafting from’ technique as well as indirect routes via a polymeric precursor. The uses of these graft copolymers in numerous applications are presented to show their versatile nature and their potential. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry
