Branched Polymers II

Anders Hult, Mats Johansson, Eva Malmström (auth.), J. Roovers (eds.)

The two companion volumes of Advances in Polymer Science numbers 142 and 143 deal with modern aspects of long-chain branching in synthetic polymers. The long-chain architecture is now increasingly used as a design tool for targetted polymer properties. The synthetic aspects cover branching by cationic polymerization, asymmetric branching, poly(macromonomers), dendrimer-polymer hybrids and hyperbranched polymers. Three contributions cover theory and simulation of branching, solution properties, and melt flow of branched polymers, respectively.
