The versatility of polymer and hybrid systems containing the polycation PDMAEMA, especially in the star-shaped topology, is reviewed. Different complexation schemes are addressed, including the use of stimuli-responsive counterions. This leads to the use of PDMAEMA stars for nucleotide transfection or advanced hydrogel formulations.
