Influence of shape on the reactivity and properties of dendritic, hyperbranched and linear aromatic polyesters.
TLDR
In this article, a comparison of the physical properties between dendritic, hyperbranched and linear polyester structures showed that thermal properties, such as glass transition temperature and thermogravimetric analysis, were independent of macromolecular architecture.About:

Hyperbranched polymers: from synthesis to applications
TL;DR: In this article, a couple-monomer methodology (CMM) is proposed for hyperbranched polymers, which is based on the in situ formation of ABn intermediates from specific monomer pairs.

Functional polymers and dendrimers: reactivity, molecular architecture, and interfacial energy
TL;DR: The interaction of polymers with their environment depends largely on the functional groups they carry and the placement of functional groups at polymer chain ends or in well-defined segments can determine the ultimate properties.

Starburst Dendrimers: Molecular-Level Control of Size, Shape, Surface Chemistry, Topology, and Flexibility from Atoms to Macroscopic Matter
TL;DR: Starburst dendrimers are three-dimensional, highly ordered oligomeric and polymeric compounds formed by reiterative reaction sequences starting from smaller molecules—“initiator cores” such as ammonia or pentaerythritol.

TL;DR: In this article, a solution polymerization reaction was developed for the synthesis of high molecular weight polyesters directly from carboxylic acids and phenols, which is useful in preparation of isoregic ordered chains with translational polar symmetry and also in the polymerization of functionalized or chiral monomers.
