Dendrimers with polymer chains

摘要

The synthesis of dendrimer-like polymers, incorporating polymer chains into a dendrimer-type architecture, is more difficult compared to regular dendrimers and the introduction given in this paper briefly reviews divergent and convergent strategies to prepare dendrimer-like (co)polymers. This paper describes a novel approach to prepare dendrimer-like polymers via a divergent 'grafting onto' approach.
