Structure–Property Relationship of Hyperbranched Polymers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hyperbranched Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials ((SSPCM))

Abstract

The field of hyperbranched polymers have been explored widely and have been a great topic for researchers in the last two decades because these compounds possess new, remarkable characteristics that strongly influence material properties and have opened new application fields (Inoue in Prog Polym Sci 25:453–571, 2000 [1]). Therefore, simultaneously along with the synthesis of various kinds of hyperbranched polymers from different combinations of monomers, special emphasis has been taken to establish its structure-property relationship by proper characterization and understanding of the structure of the hyperbranched polymers and its effect on its physical and chemical properties.
