P. Kambouris et Cj. Hawker, A VERSATILE NEW METHOD FOR STRUCTURE DETERMINATION IN HYPERBRANCHED MACROMOLECULES, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (22), 1993, pp. 2717-2721
A novel degradative procedure for the determination of the degree of b
ranching in hyperbranched macromolecules is presented, and its versati
lity and scope are demonstrated with the synthesis and characterizatio
n of hyperbranched polyesters based on 4,4-bis(4'-hydroxyphenyl)pentan
oic acid.
