Artificial polymers with altered oligosaccharide or polysaccharide functionality or narrow oligosaccharide distribution, methods of making same, compositions comprising same, and methods of using same

The present invention relates to an artificial polymer comprising a synthetic component (A) covalently bonded to a natural component (B) wherein the natural component comprises an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide and wherein the end group of the oligosaccharide or polysaccharide when in the open chain form is substantially free of aldehyde functional groups. The present disclosure also relates to an artificial polymer comprising a synthetic component (A) covalently bonded to a natural component (B) wherein the natural component comprises a narrow oligosaccharide distribution prepared by enzymatic degradation of a polysaccharide. The artificial polymers described herein are useful in a variety of end-use applications, including cleaning, automatic dishwashing, detergents, minimizing fouling, water treatment, as adhesives, as superabsorbers, as rheology modifiers, and in personal care. 本发明涉及一种人造聚合物，其包含共价键合至天然组分(B)的合成组分(A)，其中所述天然组分包含寡糖或多糖，并且其中所述寡糖或多糖的末端基团当处于开链形式时基本上不含醛官能团。本公开还涉及一种人造聚合物，其包含共价键合至天然组分(B)的合成组分(A)，其
