Dendritic polymers, the fourth major architectural class of macromolecules, can be divided into three subclasses. These subclasses may be visualized according to the degree of structural perfection attained, namely (1) hyperbranched polymers (statistical structures, Chapter 7), (2) dendrigraft polymers (semi-controlled structures, reviewed in this chapter) and (3) dendrimers (controlled structures, Chapter 1).
