Synthesis and characterization of dendronized polymers

Abstract

This research aims at the synthesis of several dendrons with different functional groups on their surface, and their use as functionalizing agents of synthetic polymers. Two principal products were synthesized and characterized: dendronized MDI oligomers and dendronized PMMI. The results of the characterization studies of dendronized polymers demonstrated the influence of the polarity of dendrons and the dendronization pathway on the properties of the final products.
