During free-radical polymerization of multivinyl monomers, the regulation of intermolecular crosslinking and intramolecular cyclization enables the construction of complex polymer architectures. This Review summarizes methods to achieve this control and techniques to analyse the sub-chain connections. Finally, it discusses exemplary biomedical applications of the complex polymer products.
