“…Living polymerization techniques provide the opportunity to synthesize polymers with predictable molecular characteristics and monodisperse distributions. The aforementioned methodologies, due to the living nature of the propagating chain-ends, allow the synthesis of well-defined non-linear polymers, with precise molecular architectures such as star- [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], H- [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], and dendritic-shaped materials [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], respectively. For the synthesis of dendritic polymers, anionic [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], click-chemistry [ 35 ] and organometal-catalyzed [ 36 ] techniques have already been employed and are reported in the literature.…”
