Abstract:
Illustration of methods for the synthesis of branched (arborescent) homopolymers with a defined structure. These molecules, characterized by a cascade-branched (arborescent) architecture, belong to the dendritic polymers family. They were synthesized with molecular weights ranging from 10^4-10^8 and branching functionalities side chains from 10-10^4.
