A multistep synthetic methodology for the synthesis of star-shaped macromolecules is presented. The method relies on sequential anionic living copolymerization, where divinyl-benzene is used as the linking agent. A variety of star-shaped macromolecules such as star homopolymers, An, heteroarm star copolymers, AnBn, star block copolymers, (AB)n, and functionalized star-polymers can be produced. The synthesis characterization and some properties of such polymeric species are reviewed and the advantages as well as the drawbacks of the method are discussed.
