Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A series of new hyperbranched polymers bearing multiple ether, thioether, and hydroxyl groups are synthesized by the oxyanionic ring‐opening multi‐branching polymerization of the AB₃ type monomer prepared by the click reaction of 4‐vinyl‐cyclohexene‐1, 2‐epoxide with 1‐thiolglycerol. The resulting HBPs are proven to be good "molds" to control the nucleation and growth of titanium‐oxo‐species during a sol–gel mineralization process, yielding discrete porous anatase nanospheres (30–100 nm). <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgk2rb33fm" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
