Abstract The hyperbranched poly(ethyl methacrylate)s (PEMAs) were prepared by the quasi‐living radical polymerization of 2‐( N,N ‐diethylaminodithiocarbamoyl)ethyl methacrylate (DTCM). DTCM monomer plays an important role in this polymerization system as an inimer that is capable of initiating quasi‐living radical polymerization of the vinyl group. Hyperbranched PEMAs with relatively narrow polydispersity ( M w / M n ≈ 1.6) were obtained. The compact nature of the hyperbranched PEMAs is demonstrated by solution properties which are different from those of the linear analogues. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry
