Abstract

Amphiphilic hyperbranched polymers with a biodegradable hyperbranched poly(ε-caprolactone) core were synthesized by one-pot polyesterification of AB₂ macromonomer (including two carboxyl groups and one hydroxyl group) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether, as a very promising biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterial for drug controlled release.
