Hyperbranched polymers (HBP) are multi-branched, three–dimensional structured polymers with distinctive properties that distinguish them from linear polymers. Here, HBP were synthesized via ring-opening multibranching polymerization of glycidol using vegetable oil-based polyols as eco-friendly initiators. The resultant HBP were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. HBP with different molecular weight, moderate degree of branching, and high hydroxyl functionality were obtained, depending on the polymerization condition. This work provide a promising method for making HPGs that can serve as potential precursors for polyurethane production. |
