As an important branch of polymer field, hyperbranched polymers have developed rapidly recently, which have been applied in various fields because of its outstanding biodegradability and biocompatibility, especially in biology and coatings. According to reaction mechanism, the fabrication methods of hyperbranched polymers include polycondensation, ring-opening polymerization, living polymerization and other new methods. These methods are all environmental-friendly and high-efficient to generate hyperbranched polymers, and are valuable for industrialization, but there are still some defects such as the structure of the polymer is not regular enough, the composition of the polymer is too single, or the partial synthesis method is complicated. In this work, on the basis of previous studies, the preparation methods of hyperbranched polymers and their applications in various fields were reviewed, and the development trend of hyperbranched polymers was analyzed.

超支化聚合物作为高分子领域的一个重要分支，近年来发展迅速，以其优异的生物降解性和生物相容性，尤其是在生物和涂料领域得到了广泛的应用。根据反应机理，超支化聚合物的制备方法包括缩聚、开环聚合、活性聚合等新方法。这些方法均环保、高效地生成超支化聚合物，具有工业化价值，但仍存在聚合物结构不够规则、聚合物组成过于单一等缺陷。部分合成方法复杂。在这项工作中，在前人研究的基础上，
