TL;DR: In this paper, a dendritic polyester based on pentaerythritol and 1,2,4 -benzenetricarboxylic acid anhydride followed by modification with glycidyl methacrylate was synthesized by using a divergent approach.
Abstract: A dendritic polyester based on pentaerythritol and 1,2,4 – benzenetricarboxylic acid anhydride followed by modification with glycidyl methacrylate was synthesised by using a divergent approach. The dendrimer (D-2) thus obtained had approximately eight double bonds. Several blends of D-2 with varying proportions of bismethacryloxy derivative of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A having styrene as a reactive diluent (VE resin) were prepared. The Brookfield viscosity of VE resin increased with an increase in D-2 content in the blends.

TL;DR: 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.
