1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

This chapter gives an overview of the research on the self-assembly of amorphous block
copolymers at different levels of hierarchy. Besides the influence of composition and …

Concurrent with the rapid development of both dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers, a
novel class of block copolymer architectures has emerged from the combination of these …

This review article discusses the origins of self-assembly behavior of linear and non-linear
block co-and terpolymers and their application towards the fabrication of high-resolution …

It is generally believed that the spherical domains self-assembled from AB-type block
copolymers are composed of the minority A blocks with a volume fraction of f A< 1/2 …

This review presents recent developments in the field of the highly branched molecules
(excluding dendrimers) with emphasis on their surface behavior, microstructure, surface …

Linear‐dendritic copolymers are intriguing macromolecules, which offer challenge and
fascination as purely synthetic objects at the crossroad of organic and polymer chemistry …

The AB2-and AB3-type miktoarm star copolymers consisting of maltoheptaose (MH, as A
block) and poly (ε-caprolactone)(PCL, as B block), namely MH-b-(PCL) 2 and MH-b-(PCL) 3 …

Glycopolypeptides (GPs) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of glycosylated
N-carboxyanhydride monomer and attached to hydrophobic dendrons at one chain end by …

A novel approach toward the synthesis of block copolymers composed of architecturally
different components, in this case, a nanoparticle covalently attached to a single linear coil is …
