title: Thermoresponsive dendronized polymers with tunable lower critical solution temperatures.
abstract: A series of first (PG 1) and second generation (PG 2) dendronized polymers were synthesized which exhibit fast and sharp phase transitions with negligible hystereses in aqueous solutions and apparent lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) in the range of 33-49 degrees C.
