High water‐soluble hyperbranched poly(styrene) (HPS) polymers carrying stable 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) radicals, HPS‐N‐TEMPO, HPS‐Im‐TEMPO, and HPS‐Im‐(TEMPO) 2 , were prepared in ca. 60% introducing yield. HPS‐N‐TEMPO and HPS‐Im‐TEMPO were determined to be nearly spherical shapes of the diameter of 2.4 ± 0.6 and 2.2 ± 0.6 nm, respectively, by transmission electron microscope (TEM) images. The values of water‐proton relaxivity, r 1 , at 25 MHz, 0.59 T, and 25 °C were 6.0, 5.2, and 14 mM −1 sec −1 for HPS‐N‐TEMPO, HPS‐Im‐TEMPO, and HPS‐Im‐(TEMPO) 2 , respectively. The spin‐lattice relaxation time ( T 1 )‐weighted images in phantom were also observed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
