Star Polymers

A star polymer is composed of star macromolecules that are defined as macromolecules containing a single branch point from which linear chains (arms) emanate.

Divinylbenzene has been used to produce star polymers in a synthesis proceeding by the addition of Divinylbenzene to a living cationic polyisobutylene. Such molecules have found utility as motor oil viscosity modifiers also known as viscosity index improvers.
