Abstract
LITTLE is known about the behaviour of branched-chain polymer molecules either in solution or in the solid state. One of the difficulties hindering the acquisition of this knowledge is the lack of synthetic methods for building molecules to a predetermined pattern. This communication is concerned with one approach to a solution of this problem in the case of vinyl polymers. Polystyrene may be taken to illustrate the application of the method.
