BRANCHED AND HYPERBRANCHED POLYETHERIMIDES FROM STABLE A1Bn, AB, AA, AND BB MONOMERS; AM ENDCAPPING AGENTS

摘要

Branched or hyperbranched polymeric structures which contain at least one etherimide branch point, more specifically from stable A1Bn (where n >/=2), AB, AA, and BB monomers; Am end-capping agents (where m = 1); Bn cores (where n >/= 1) and combinations thereof; with controllable degrees of branching (DB = 0-1), molecular architectures, end-group compositions, along with methods for their preparation.
