A primary interest in the Wooley laboratory is the production of functional polymers from renewable sources that are capable of reverting to those natural products once their purpose has been served.  The inherent stereochemical and functional diversities of natural products provide opportunities to expand the scopes and complexities of polymer materials, by utilizing fundamental synthetic organic chemistry approaches.  This presentation will highlight synthetic strategies for the development of polymers, block polymers and crosslinked network materials, which can be produced by relatively simple approaches from complex peptide or carbohydrate natural products and can be made to exhibit a range of properties, with diverse potential applications and reversion to biologically-resorable and environmentally-benign degradation products. <br/>
