Due to their unique physical and chemical features, dendronized polymers (DPs) have received increasing attention in various fields such as hierarchically structured materials, stimuli-responsive materials, catalysis, biosciences, optoelectronic devices, and so on. A large number of synthetic strategies also have been reported to prepare various functionalized DPs. Among these strategies, ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and metathesis cyclopolymerization (MCP) using highly active and group-tolerant Ru-based catalysts as initiators were used as living and controlled techniques to fabricate well-defined DPs. The two efficient techniques present a promising prospect in the design and preparation of functional DPs. In this review, we focus on the synthesis of various classes of DPs by ROMP and MCP of dendritic macromonomers, and describe their characteristic structures and properties, as well as various functional applications.

由于其独特的物理和化学特性，树枝状聚合物（DP）在各个领域（例如层次结构材料，刺激响应材料，催化，生物科学，光电器件等）受到越来越多的关注。也已经报道了许多合成策略来制备各种功能化的DP。在这些策略中，使用高活性和耐基团的Ru基催化剂作为引发剂的开环易位聚合（ROMP）和易位环聚合（MCP）被用作活性和受控技术来制造定义明确的DP。两种有效的技术在功能性DP的设计和制备方面都具有广阔的前景。在这篇综述中，我们集中于通过树突状大分子单体的ROMP和MCP合成各种类型的DP，
