Synthesis of Branched <strong>Polymer</strong>s by Cationic <strong>Polymer</strong>ization 67<br />
5<br />
Conclusion<br />
This review covered recent developments <strong>in</strong> the synthesis of branched (star,<br />
comb, graft, and hyperbranched) polymers by cationic polymerization. It<br />
should be noted that although current examples <strong>in</strong> some areas may be limited,<br />
the general synthetic strategies presented could be extended to other monomers,<br />
<strong>in</strong>itiat<strong>in</strong>g systems etc. Particularly promis<strong>in</strong>g areas to obta<strong>in</strong> materials<br />
formerly unavailable by conventional techniques are heteroarm star-block copolymers<br />
and hyperbranched polymers. Even without further examples the<br />
number and variety of well-def<strong>in</strong>ed branched polymers obta<strong>in</strong>ed by cationic polymerization<br />
should conv<strong>in</strong>ce the reader that cationic polymerization has become<br />
one of the most important methods <strong>in</strong> branched polymer synthesis <strong>in</strong><br />
terms of scope, versatility, and utility.<br />
