Abstract

The solution properties of hydroxyl terminated hyperbranched aliphatic polyesters and their acetyl derivatives have been studied by measuring viscosity parameters. The polarity of terminated groups of molecules is the most important factor affecting their properties. The intrinsic viscosity [η] cannot reflect the real monomolecular hydrodynamic volume of hydroxyl group‐terminated hyperbranched polymer due to the strong intermolecular forces which lead to the formation of stable clusters. The intermolecular association constant K~M~ depends not only on molecular weight, but also on the polarity of end‐groups. However, the dynamic contact concentration C~S~ can be determined accurately from reduced viscosity versus concentration plots. The reason why the intrinsic viscosity does not change linearly with the generation of the hyperbranched aliphatic polyesters is explained using ‘free‐draining’ and ‘non‐draining’ models.

## 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
