Abstract

This work describes a new strategy for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers from commercially available A2 and BB′2 type monomers without any catalysts; the rapid reaction of A groups with B groups results in the formation of dimers that can be regarded as a new sort of AB′2 type monomer; further polymerization of AB′2 gives hyperbranched polymers; through this approach a new kind of water-soluble hyperbranched polysulfone-amine was synthesized by polyaddition of N-methylpropane-1,3-diamine (BB′2) to divinyl sulfone (A2).
