Abstract

Living free-radical copolymerization of the inimer 4-vinylbenzyl N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate with maleic anhydride in the presence of methyl methacrylate produces highly branched poly(methyl methacrylate) star polymers. Subsequently, mikto-arm stars can be synthesized by condensation of poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether) monosodium alkoxide with functional maleic anhydride sites in the hyperbranched core. The solution properties of these mikto-arm star copolymers are discussed.
