Abstract
This chapter describes vegetable oil-based hyperbranched polymers. It deals with the importance, comparison with linear polymers, methods, characterisation, structure property–relationship, applications, prospect and challenges of vegetable oil-based hyperbranched polymers. The chapter also includes a short review of various hyperbranched polymers such as polyester, polyurethanes and epoxies from different vegetable oils. Vegetable oil-based hyperbranched polymers have significant advantages over analogous conventional polymers and thus the development of such polymers with novel architecture is a very attractive prospect. The present author is a pioneer in this field. This is one of the most exciting fields of research where people from all branches of science can be involved in exploring these novel polymers to the maximum extent.
