Abstract
Chapter 7 is concerned with synthesis of hyper-branched polymers (HBP) by the radical polymerization method. It also describes theoretical potentialities of this method including several practical approaches to HBP synthesis, namely, HBP synthesis via regulation of chain length (initiation rate, agents and catalysts of chain transfer, inhibitors) and HBP synthesis via living chain polymerization. In this discussion, experimental results obtained by the authors and published data are compared with calculation results, including results related to the new developed gel formation theory. The most successful options of HBP synthesis in the living chains mode (including nanostructured polymers) are also discussed in Chap. 7. The main significance of the data obtained consists in their suitability for use as base data for targeted synthesis of HBP with predictable properties—HBP design.
