Abstract Complexes formed by star‐like polymers of various topology and oppositely charged linear polyelectrolytes were simulated using Brownian dynamics technique. Structural properties and their dependence on the polyelectrotyte charge were investigated and compared with similar data for complexes with dendrimers. Remarkable overcharging was observed for all stars in complexes.
