nanocarriers for loading guest molecules is dynamic. It has been widely studied in applications including drug controlled release, smart sensing, catalysis, and modeling. In this paper, a graft copolymer (hyperbranchedpolystyrene)-g-poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (HBPS-g-PDMAEMA) was synthesized
aggregates were capable to encapsulate small hydrophobic molecules. These newly prepared HBPS-g-PDMAEMA nanocarriers might be used in, e.g., medicine or catalysis.

hyperbranchedpolystyrene. Chen reported a star-like polymer HBPS-g-PNIPAM in which HBPS was prepared by click chemistry to load small hydrophobic molecules [25]. However, its preparation needs specially designed monomers, the preparation of which is tedious and time-comsuming. Hyperbranchedpolystyrene (HBPS
