Solution Properties of Perfect Hyperbranched Homopolymers and Copolymers

Solution Properties of Perfect Hyperbranched Homopolymers and Copolymers 

In the previous two chapters, we discussed the design strategy synthetic detail of various Seesaw-type macromonomers and perfect hyperbranched (co)polymers. In this chapter, we will focus on the solution properties of these novel hyperbranched (co)polymers in dilute and semidilute solutions.

In conclusion, by overcoming the disadvantage of the previous synthetic methods for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers, we designed an all-new Seesaw-type macromonomer strategy to construct perfect hyperbranched model samples with uniform subchains. In onr stndy, we successfully prepared various kinds of Seesaw-type macromonomers, snch as homopolymers, triblock copolymers and diblock copolymers. Using these maCTomonomers as precursors, we have further prepared a series of perfect hyperbranched homopolymers, block copolymers, graft copolymers and hetero-snbchain copolymers by a combination of controlled/ living polymerization and click chemistry. Various solution properties of these novel hyperbranched (co) polymers in dilnte and semidilute solntions have been studied in detail. More specifically, the main achievements of this work are as follows ...
