Due to their unique topological structure and interesting physical/chemical properties

hyperbranched polymers have attracted wide attention from both academia and industry. As a newly emerging research area

hyperbranched polymers have displayed great potential to be excellent precursors in self-assembly

and many impressive supramolecular aggregates and hybrids at all scales and dimensions have been generated. Micelles are the most common supramolecular structure through the self-assembly of hyperbranched polymers. In this paper

the recent developments in hyperbranched polymers micelles

including self-assembly precursors

self-assembly mechanisms and their applications in biomedical areas

nano-carrier and preparation of metal nanoparticles have been comprehensively reviewed.
