Abstract
Poly(propylene imine) dendrimers with amino chain ends have been used for t he preparation of hydrophobic star polymers with hydrophilic dendritic core s. The unsaturated end groups of polyisobutylene (PIB) were transformed int o reactive anhydride end groups by an "ene" reaction with maleic anhydride, and the resulting functionalized PIB was then reacted with dendrimers to a fford dendrimer-PIB star copolymers.
