Hyperbranched polymers: a promising new class of materials
917
TL;DR: Hyperbranched polymers are highly branched macromolecules that are prepared through a one-step polymerization process as discussed by the authors, which are generally composed of dendritic, linear and terminal units and a degree of branching helps to describe their structures.

Dendrimeric Liquid Crystals: Isotropic−Nematic Pretransitional Behavior
Jian-Feng Li,Karl A. Crandall,Peihwei Chu,Virgil Percec,Rolfe G. Petschek,Charles Rosenblatt +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the pretransitional behavior of liquid crystalline monodendrons and dendrimers is qualitatively similar to that of low molecular weight liquid crystals, exhibiting a Landau-like divergence of the relaxation time and a logarithmic divergence of optical retardation on approaching the nematic−isotropic phase transition from above.
