✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Hyperbranched polymers constitute a unique class of branched macromolecules, where structural complexity is complemented by relative ease of synthesis. The increasing interest in the study of these materials is due to their distinctive properties, inherently tied to their complex molecular architecture, and is augmented by the continual growth of applications like catalysis, viscosity modifiers, and sensors. We report a structural model for HBPs based on fractal scaling of both mass and connectivity. This model is shown to be of use in understanding small angle scattering data, especially in comparison with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for structural characterization.

## Abstract This paper describes random branching theory, a model for the solution structure of hyperbranched polymers. In this model, the hyperbranched polymer is assumed to be composed of units whose structure is simpler than the resulting polymer. These simple units can have any structure of che
