Hyperbranched polymer

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005507",
  "term": "Hyperbranched polymer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A polymer possessing a highly branched, irregular, tree-like structure with numerous terminal groups, but lacking the precise generational symmetry of a dendrimer. These polymers are typically synthesized in a one-pot reaction, resulting in a broad molecular weight distribution. Their unique architecture leads to properties such as low solution viscosity and high solubility.",
