Hyperbranched polyglycerol is characterized by the combination of a loose and stable polyether scaffold
a large number of end hydroxyl groups .These characteristics render hyperbranched polyglycerol an ideal candidate for use in a wide range of applications
such as catalysts carriers
biomedical applications
polymer electrolytes
etc .In this brief summary
the current research in hyperbranched polyglycerol is reviewed .
