Role of highly branched, high molecular weight polymer structures in directing uniform polymer particle formation during nanoprecipitation Fiona Hatton Pierre Chambon Alison C Savage Steve P Rannard 2134/9810599.v1 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/Role_of_highly_branched_high_molecular_weight_polymer_structures_in_directing_uniform_polymer_particle_formation_during_nanoprecipitation/9810599 <p>The new macromolecular architecture, hyperbranched polydendrons, are composed of a broad distribution of molecular weights and architectural variation; however, nanoprecipitation of these materials yields highly uniform, dendron-functional nanoparticles. By isolating different fractions of the diverse samples, the key role of the most highly branched structures in directing nucleation and growth has been explored and determined.</p><div><br></div> 2019-09-16 09:22:02 Hyperbranched-polydendrons Dispersion polymerization Nanoparticles Copolymers Raft Phase
