Hyperbranched oligomer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005505",
  "term": "Hyperbranched oligomer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A macromolecule with a highly branched, irregular structure, typically formed by a single monomer type or a mixture of monomers. It possesses a large number of terminal groups and a relatively low molecular weight compared to hyperbranched polymers. These structures lack the precise architectural control found in dendrimers.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
