“…HBPs exist as an irregular branching structure, provided with unique properties and a three-dimensional (3D) geometrical structure with a degree of branching (D.B.) less than 1.0, low molecular chain ambiguity, increased solvability, lower viscosity, intramolecular cavities and large functional end groups, which is accountable for its use in several applications including supramolecular chemistry, bio-medicinal drug delivery, surface coatings, additives, crosslinkers, optical, electrical, sensors and magnetic materials [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The presence of intramolecular cavities in their 3D globular architecture can be utilized to encapsulate medicines, and due to their ease of synthesis in comparison to dendrimers, HBPs have attracted attention for the development of drug delivery systems.…”

Since the last decade, hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) have gained wider theoretical interest and practical applications in sensor technology due to their ease of synthesis, highly branched structure but dimensions within nanoscale, a larger number of modified terminal groups and lowering of viscosity in polymer blends even at higher HBP concentrations. Many researchers have reported the synthesis of HBPs using different organic-based core-shell moieties. Interestingly, silanes, as organic-inorganic hybrid modifiers of HBP, are of great interest as they resulted in a tremendous improvement in HBP properties like increasing thermal, mechanical and electrical properties compared to that of organic-only moieties. This review focuses on the research progress in organofunctional silanes, silane-based HBPs and their applications since the last decade. The effect of silane type, its bi-functional nature, its influence on the final HBP structure and the resultant properties are covered in detail. Methods to enhance the HBP properties and challenges that need to be overcome in the near future are also discussed.
