Fund Project: This work was financially supported by the National Basic Research Program (Nos. 2012CB821500 and 2013CB834506), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos.91127047, 21174086 and 21274167).

By controlling the feed ratio of CMS/styrene and the polymerization time, a series of hyperbranched copolystyrenes (HBCPS) were synthesized with comparable weight-averaged molecular weights (Mw) but different degree of branching (DB) through atom transfer radical self-condensing vinyl copolymerization (ATR-SCVCP) with CuBr/2,2'-bipyridyl as the catalyst. The resulting HBCPS samples were used to investigate the effect of branching architecture on their glass transition behavior. With the DB increased, the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of HBCPS samples measured by DMA and DSC both decreased. Their spin-lattice relaxation times (1H T1r) of protons displayed the same downtrend with increasing DB. Besides, a correlation between the Tgs and the DB was well established by all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The values of MD-determined Tgs are little higher than the corresponding experimental ones. However, the dependence of Tgs on DB is in good agreement with the experimental results, i.e., Tg decreases both in experiments and simulations with increasing DB.
