Miktoarm star block polymer connectivity provides unique control over self-assembly and attendant material properties. Typical synthetic procedures used to access miktoarm architectures are often plagued by challenges that necessitate the re-optimization of chemistry for different arm connectivity and monomer functionality. This presentation describes advances in the synthesis of mikto-arm star polymers via the development of unified organic conditions applicable to a versatile selection of monosaccharides. We anticipate these simple transformations will facilitate the creation of innovative polymeric materials with tailored structures and properties.
