Cyclodextrin-based hyperbranched polymers have the advantages of hyperbranched polymers and cyclodextrins. And the combining of them brings special physical and chemical properties for the cyclodextrin-based hyperbranched polymers. It is becoming a research hotspot and applying in some fields. At first

the characteristics of hyperbranched polymers and cyclodextrins are introduced briefly. Then we illustrate the methods to prepare cyclodextrin-based hyperbranched polymers in detail. Furthermore

the applications lately

which involve medicine

biology

novel material and the regulating of physical and chemistry properties

etc

are introduced in this review. Finally

we summarized the development of cyclodextrin-based hyperbranched polymers at home and abroad. New research prospects are expected based on the progress of these kinds of polymers.
