Development of an innovative strategy to prepare hyperbranched polysiloxanes (HBPS) is highly desirable due to the significant shortcomings of conventional fabrication approaches: the precursors need pre-synthesis, the hydrosilylation reaction is conducted using costly catalysts, and hydrolysis of organosiloxanes easily results in gelation. Here, novel HBPS containing acetoacetyl groups (HBPS-Ac) are synthesized through a cost-efficient and easily controllable transesterification reaction. It is shown by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), (1) H NMR, and gas chromatography (GC) measurements that the polymerization process is a straightforward technique to prepare new HBPS. The polymers are capable to remove formaldehyde due to the highly efficient reaction of the active methylene in the acetoacetyl group with formaldehyde at room temperature. Notably, coatings incorporating 4 wt% of the polymers allow for formaldehyde absorption, while integrated performances are kept almost unaffected. Therefore, HBPS-Ac are promising as scavengers for formaldehyde.

The wood industry's dependence on traditional petrochemical adhesives, which pose environmental and health risks, has spurred research into sustainable alternatives. Sustainable bio-based polysaccharide materials show promise due to their inherent adhesive properties, despite challenges related to mechanical weaknesses and water resistance. Inspired by the hardening mechanisms of nacre and arthropod cuticles, we have developed a novel biomimetic flame-retardant HPA/OCTS/VMT NSs-NH adhesive.

Unconventional luminescent polymers have attracted considerable attention in the biological field due to their intrinsic fluorescence properties and excellent biocompatibility. However, exploring the luminescent properties of thiol-containing polymers and the mechanism of their scavenging of ROS remains unclear. In this work, we synthesised three kinds of hyperbranched polysiloxanes (HE, HP, and HB) with terminal thiol groups containing different chain lengths by the polycondensation reaction.

The organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent hyperbranched polymer, including hyperbranched polysiloxane and hyperbranched polyborate, have attracted much attention due to their excellent optical properties and wide range of applications. Hyperbranched polysiloxane and polyborates, prepared by introducing Si or B elements into organic polymer chains at the molecular level through rational molecular design and novel synthesis methods, exhibit outstanding photophysical properties as an indispensable branch of organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent materials. Herein, this review highlights the recent research progress on hyperbranched polysiloxanes and hyperbranched polyborates, including strategies for regulating their emission wavelengths, quantum yields, and fluorescence lifetimes, potential emission mechanisms, and various applications.

Monitoring complex human movements requires the simultaneous detection of strain and pressure, which poses a challenge due to the difficulty in integrating high stretchability and compressive ability into a single material. Herein, a series of hyperbranched polysiloxane crosslinkers (HPSis) with self-floating abilities are designed and synthesized. Taking advantage of the self-floating capabilities of HPSis, ionogels with gradient composition distribution and conductivities are constructed by in situ one-step photopolymerization, and possess satisfactory stretchability, high compressibility and excellent resilience.

The aqueous formulation of antismudge coatings is a crucial step for environmental protection and pollution reduction. However, the inferior mechanical durability of waterborne antismudge coatings poses challenges for their practical application. Herein, we developed a fully waterborne antismudge coating with excellent scratch resistance by preparing hyperbranched amine-rich polysiloxane (HSP) for antismudge ability and epoxy-rich zirconium-based aqueous solution (ZAS) for mechanical performance.
