As the topological structure of macromolecular chains is very important to the properties of the materials

the relationship between the topological structure of polymer chains and the properties of materials has always been an important topic in the field of polymer materials. Living/controlled polymerization provides a variety of methods for the controlled synthesis of comb-like polymers

through which the topological structure of comb-like polymers can be easily regulated. Currently

there are three main synthesis strategies adopted

namely "Graft onto" strategy

"Graft through "strategy and "Graft from" strategy. Combined with author's research work

this paper summarizes the progress in the polyolefin and polystyrene based comb-like (co)polymers

including the synthesis of comb-like polymers with well-defined structure

and the relationship between chain topological structure and performance of the controllable synthesis of comblike (co)polymers

which focus on the effect of long chain branched structure parameters (branched chain length

density and chemical composition of branch chain) on melt behavior

foaming behavior and crystallization behavior of comb-like (co)polymers.
