Regardless of the desired architecture, there are three main synthetic approaches to the preparation of diblock, dumbbell or dendronized hybrid copolymers. These involve grafting, polymerization or stepwise dendritic growth 

This chapter will not attempt to present encyclopedic coverage of the field, but it will only provide representative examples of the processes used to access each of the main types of hybrid block architectures, then it will take a somewhat closer look at specific families of amphiphilic or electroactive hybrid dendritic-linear macromolecules with broad potential for practical applications.
