中文摘要：

超支化聚合物因其特殊的支化结构而与传统的线型聚合物在性能上有很大差异，最大特点就是与普通溶剂有较好的相溶性并且体系黏度较低，分子表面具有大量可功能化的官能团，因而具有广阔的应用前景，受到了科学家们的广泛关注。本文介绍了超支化聚合物的结构特点和合成方法，并对超支化聚合物理论的发展和应用研究进展进行了详细的介绍，旨在加深人们对该领域的了解，从而促进该领域的快速发展。

英文摘要：

Hyperbranched polymers exhibited properties different to those of linear polymers due to their highly branched, dense structure, and their high solubility in common solvents and their low solution viscosities. There were plenty of functional groups on their surface, and they were used in many fields. Hyperbranched polymers have received more and more research interest from polymer scientists. In the paper, the structure character and synthesized methods of hyperbraned polymer were introduced, and the research advance in theory and application of them were reviewed in an attempt to make this field to be further understood, and to accelerate its development more quickly.
