Description Branching is an important tool for a synthetic polymer chemist in order to control the macroscopic properties of polymers. In condensation polymers, branching can be controlled by copolymerization of an AB? type monomer with an AB type monomer. However, in Vinyl polymerizations, it was not until very recently that the degree of branching could be controlled. Two different approaches, namely, Self-Condensing Vinyl Polymerization (SCVP) and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) were developed for controlling the degree of branching in vinyl systems. This review article highlights recent advances in the science and technology in these two industrially very important approaches. A brief summary at the end highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each methodology. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
