ABSTRACT

Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs), due to their unique chemical and physical properties, have attracted increasing attention. These polymers are highly branched, polydisperse, and three-dimensional macromolecules [1]. The HBPs have remarkable properties, such as low melt and solution viscosity, low chain entanglement, and high solubility, as a result of the large amount of functional end groups and globular structure, so they are excellent candidates for use in random applications, particularly for modifying fibers [2, 3].
