Abstract
Alternating-block hyperbranched polymers were synthesized using the highly versatile thiol-yne reaction. Dimethyl acrylamide-styrene and tert-butyl acrylate-styrene polymers were prepared, with subsequent hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester to acrylic acid. The dimethyl acrylamide-styrene hyperbranched polymers self-assembled into large aggregates, as did the acrylic acid-styrene system at low pH. However, high pH triggers the formation of very well defined small particles in the latter system.
