Hyperbranched polymers : macromolecules in between deterministic linear chains and dendrimer structures /
There is great commercial interest in hyperbranched polymers from manufacturers of polymer formulations, additives and coatings, polymer electronics and pharmaceuticals. However, these polymers are difficult to characterize due to their very complex, multidimensional distribution and there is a grea...
