Abstract
A new type of dendritic polymer, named dendronized hyperbranched polymer (DHP), was prepared successfully by the macromonomer approach. Thanks to the perfect 3D isolation effects, DHPG1 exhibited good NLO property with d 33 value of 133 pm/V, higher than its analogues of dendronized polymer and dendrimer, and its stability of NLO effect was also enhanced.
