Abstract
Hyperbranched polymers have a three-dimensional structure with high functionality, high reactivity due to the presence of a large number of free terminal groups, and they exhibit enhanced absorption capacity of biomolecules on a polymeric biomaterial. More advantage with these architectural polymers is that they can be altered structurally as well as by incorporation of functional groups can be improved for better cell attachment. Hyperbranched polymers are quite capable of forming porous hydrogels or films as scaffolds, and are promising material to support adhesion and rapid reproduction of cells. Thus, hyperbranched polymers, due to their unique structures and special properties, have proved to be of high potential in various applications in tissue engineering fields.
