“…Hyperbranched polyglycerol is easy to synthesize and can generate high-molecular-weight polymers in a single step, which is difficult with the stepwise organic synthesis that is required for PGD. To date, PGDs and HPGs have been used as nanocapsules for drug delivery [ 5 , 6 ], dispersions of metal ions using host–guest interactions [ 7 ], protein adsorption inhibitory surfaces [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ], hydrogels [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], human serum albumin substitutes [ 18 ], organ preservation solutions [ 19 ], and solvents for poorly water soluble drugs as hydrotropes [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
