A physical gel made from hyperbranched polymer gelator.
A novel hyperbranched polymer gelator has been synthesized, which can self-assemble into the thermoreversible physical gel in DMF, DMAC, pyridine, DMSO or NMP with the driving force of hydrogen bonds among amide and amine groups of the highly branched macromolecules.
