The DMC complexes were prepared using different complexing and co-complexing agents. Hydrophobicity of the surface, Lewis acidity and micro-mesoporous architecture are the critical features of DMC enabled control on gelation process in preparing HPs of high degree of branching. The micro-mesoporous architecture of DMC acts as a nano-reactor for reactant molecules to form primary condensation products which further polymerize yielding dendrimers. Hyperbranched polyesters of degree of branching as high as 90% could be achieved without gelation using DMC catalysts. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
