Abstract
AbstractDue to the high entry costs for new monomers, polymer products for the 21st century will mainly consist of the monomer mix we have now. The demand for new properties will therefore have to be satisfied by changes in macromolecular architecture. Examples which are discussed include: Block polymers (AB, ABA, (AB)n, ABC, tapered), star polymers (rigid, block, fexible), ladder polymers, graft or comb polymers (from macromonomers), hyperbranched polymers, hypercrosslinked polymers, sequential copolymers. and starburst dendrimers. In addition, control of chain stereo chemistry will increasingly come into play. Synthetic techniques for obtaining these architectural forms are discussed as well as, potential uses for these new products.
