Inclusion of various polymeric chains with different lengths and functionalities (such as hydrophobic, ionic, acidic, basic, etc) into polysaccharide backbones leads to new polymeric materials with interesting properties that may self-assembled into different aggregations and have the potential to for use in a variety of applications. This review highlights the application of various ATRP techniques (such as “grafting-from” and “grafting-to”) to modify non-cellulosic polysaccharides under homogenous condition. Chemical modification of chitosan, pullulan, dextran, agarose, hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan), starch, glycogen, heparin, chitin, guar gum, locust bean gum, and dextrin using ATRP are described. Pre-functionalization or protection of some functional groups in the polysaccharide backbone required in some cases to prepare a precursor with higher solubility in organic solvents is illustrated. For each polymerization, the strategy for synthesis of the copolymer and the condition of the polymerization is described in detail along with the properties of the prepared copolymers. Furthermore, examples that produced materials with the potential for use in a specific application are reviewed in summary.

将具有不同长度和功能（例如疏水性，离子性，酸性，碱性等）的各种聚合物链包含到多糖主链中会导致具有有趣特性的新型聚合材料，这些材料可能会自动组装成不同的聚集体，并有可能用于多种应用。这篇综述重点介绍了各种ATRP技术（例如“从……移植”和“从……移植”）在同质条件下修饰非纤维素多糖的应用。描述了使用ATRP对壳聚糖，支链淀粉，葡聚糖，琼脂糖，透明质酸（透明质酸），淀粉，糖原，肝素，甲壳质，瓜尔豆胶，刺槐豆胶和糊精进行化学修饰。说明了在某些情况下制备在有机溶剂中具有较高溶解度的前体所需的多糖主链中某些官能团的预官能化或保护。对于每种聚合，均详细描述了共聚物的合成策略和聚合条件以及所制备共聚物的性能。此外，总结了一些示例，这些示例产生了可能在特定应用中使用的材料。
