Abstract

With the growing interest and demand in the realm of hyperbranched (hb) polymers, lot of synthesis approaches have already been explored some of which are detailed earlier in the Chap. 2. Both step-growth and chain-growth approaches are widely followed in the synthesis of hb polymers. Step-growth approaches mainly include AB x polycondensation and double monomer (symmetric/asymmetric pairs) methodologies. Whereas chain-growth approaches include radical copolymerization, surface grafting, and other controlled polymerization techniques. Interestingly, both self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) and self-condensing ring opening polymerization follow step-growth as well as chain-growth routes.
