An approach to biodegradable star polymeric architectures using disulfide coupling.
The straightforward synthesis of biodegradable star polymers via both in situ polymerization from a trifunctional RAFT agent and post-polymerization conjugation of pyridyldisulfide-ended linear polymers to a trithiol precursor is described.
