Branched Polymers IIAuthor: J. Roovers Published by Springer Berlin Heidelberg ISBN: 978-3-540-65005-8 DOI: 10.1007/3-540-49780-3Table of Contents:Hyperbranched Polymers Conformational Properties of Branched Polymers: Theory and Simulations Solution Properties of Branched Macromolecules Entangled Dynamics and Melt Flow of Branched Polymers, With contributions by numerous experts, Hyperbranched Polymers -- Conformational Properties of Branched Polymers: Theory and Simulations -- Solution Properties of Branched Macromolecules -- Entangled Dynamics and Melt Flow of Branched Polymers, The two companion volumes of Advances in Polymer Science numbers 142 and 143 deal with modern aspects of long-chain branching in synthetic polymers. The long-chain architecture is now increasingly used as a design tool for targetted polymer properties. The synthetic aspects cover branching by cationic polymerization, asymmetric branching, poly(macromonomers), dendrimer-polymer hybrids and hyperbranched polymers. Three contributions cover theory and simulation of branching, solution properties, and melt flow of branched polymers, respectively
