Steric effect hyperbranched polymer

Assuming that all B groups have the same reactivity, the chemical reaction giving rise to a branched molecule is identical to the reaction resulting in a linear polymer. Statistically this will eventually result in a hyperbranched polymer. However, dependent on the chemical structure of the monomer, steric effects might favor the growth of linear polymers. Computer simulations of of ABX-monomer condensation and AB -monomers co-condensed with B-functional...
