This method was initially described by Hawker and Frechet [6]. The synthesis of dendrimers offers the opportunity to generate monodisperse

• range of 1.3–1.7 for the series of star polymers prepared, which is moderate. These values can be explained by the non-monodisperse multifunctional initiator (PDI: 1.9–2.0), although transesterification/cyclization reactions during the synthesis cannot be completely excluded. A detailed account of the
