This review reports on synthesis of star-shaped and hyperbranched poly
esters, poly(ester-amide/s and poly(ester-imide)s. Further more star-s
haped polyesters having hyperbranched star arm and A-B-A triblock copo
lymers having hyperbranched A-blocks are included. All these structure
s were prepared by one-pot polycondensations of A-B or A(n)B type mono
mers. Three different polycondensation methods were used and compared.
