We report results from Brownian dynamics computer simulations of systems comprised by two terminally charged hyperbranched molecules preferentially branched in the periphery, with an oppositely charged linear chain of varying length. Comparison of the findings from the present study to stoichiometric counterparts and to analogous dendrimer-based complexes, reveal that the presence of the second...

In this paper we show that hyperbranched polymers can be used as a host matrix for electrostatic entrapment of enzymes. Specifically, amine-functionalized glucose oxidase (GOx+) and horseradish peroxidase, as well as poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-modified horseradish peroxidase, reversibly sorb into polyanionic, hyperbranched poly(sodium acrylate) (PAA-) films that are on the order of a few hundre...

Hyperbranched polymer is a kind of with three-dimensional structure, which contains highly branched structure and large number modified terminal functional groups. The desired properties can be obtained by modifying the active end groups appropriately. polymers have been successfully used in development oilfield chemicals due to their excellent solubility, rheology, temperature resistance, salt...

Abstract. In this research, four novel types of hyperbranched polyester polymers (HBPs) were used and blended with polypropylene polymer PP, virgin VPP recycled rPP, using a twin-screw extrusion machine. Hyperbranched was added in different weight ratios (5%, 10%, 20%). The Fourier transform spectroscopy FTIR, the water contact angle CA, biodegradation soil, rheological properties (melt flow ra...

This article reviews the development of a novel all-around iterative methodology combining living anionic polymerization with specially designed linking chemistry for macromolecular architecture syntheses. The methodology is designed in such a way that the same reaction site is always regenerated after the polymer chain is introduced in each reaction sequence, and this “polymer chain introducti...
