Background: Dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers are emerging polymer architectures that attract increasing attention due to their unique topological structure and interesting physicochemical properties. Their enormous ...

The thermal transitions of confined polymers are important for their applications in nanoscale devices and innovative technologies. However, thermal transitions of ultra-thin polymer assemblies confined in sub-nanometer ...

Hyperbranched polymers are macromolecular systems of high branching density. They play a key role in the forefront of macromolecular synthesis for having features different from those of non-hyperbranched polymers and ...

The supramolecular structural aspects of hetero-assemblies constituted of gold nanoparticles capped with amphiphilic unimolecular micelles were studied using synchrotron-based small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Experimental ...

Latex paint formulations normally contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to lower the modulus of the latex polymer and to enhance the rate of its diffusion in latex films. Here we show that hyperbranched poly(butyl ...

In this work, we characterize the electrochemical behavior of a new ferrocenyl-modified, hyperbranched poly(ethylenimine) (HBPei-Fc). The effects of the ionic strength, pH and the nature of the anion of the supporting ...

A study was carried out on the effect of a hybrid linear-hyperbranched poly(butylene adipate) copolymer on the properties of a commercial epoxy resin. First, the synthesis of the hyperbranched systems was optimized. These ...

The self-assembly of three different generations of hyperbranched polyester-polyol polymers, based on 2,2-bis(methylol)propionic acid units (H20, H30, and H40 Boltorn®), on carbon electrodes was studied. The physico-chemical ...
