Hyperbranched Polymers Synthesis, Properties,

The only comprehensive reference covering the properties, synthesis and applications of hyperbranched polymers. * Helps the reader gain a better understanding of irregular branching and its relationship to a polymer's properties and potential applications, aiding in the design of highly functional materials. * Covers the important theoretical aspects of the topic, as well as summarizing available techniques for characterizing these polymers. * Compares hyperbranched polymers with conventional linear polymeric materials as well as perfectly branched dendrimers. * Includes perspectives on future challenges in the synthesis and use of hyperbranched polymers in functional materials.
