Abstract
This review highlights recent (2000-2004) advances and developments regarding the synthesis
of block copolymers with both linear [AB diblocks, ABA and ABC triblocks, ABCD tetrablocks, (AB)n
multiblocks etc.] and non-linear structures (star-block, graft, miktoarm star, H-shaped, dendrimer-like
and cyclic copolymers). Attention is given only to those synthetic methodologies which lead to well-defined
and well-characterized macromolecules.
