Front Cover : Hyperbranched polymer formation during step polymerization of AB 2 type monomer is investigated. The mean square radius of gyration curve, as well as the degree of branching at large sized polymer limit, is invariant during the whole course of polymerization. Universal power law for large sized polymers holds, independent of the reactivity ratio. Further details can be found in the article by Hidetaka Tobita on page 123.
