Synthesis of structurally controlled hyperbranched polymers using a monomer having hierarchical reactivity

Hyperbranched polymers are used in many applications due to their advantageous properties such as low intrinsic viscosity, low glass transition temperature, and large number of terminal groups. Here the authors show a one-step synthesis of structurally well-controlled dendritic hyperbranched polymer...
