11.1 INTRODUCTION
In recent years, dendritic polymers have attracted increasing attention due to their unique chemical and physical properties. These polymers consist of three subsets
namely hyperbranched polymers (HBPs), dendrigraft polymers, and dendrimers. The HBPs are highly branched, polydisperse, and 3D macromolecules synthesized from a multifunctional monomer to produce a molecule with dendritic structure [1-10].
