“…Branched polymers have a wide range of potential applications in the field of coatings, rheology additives, drug delivery, and so on. − Their properties are closely related to the structures of branched polymers. For example, branched polymers with short branched chains or high branching degree have good solubility and low viscosity, which are suitable for solid polymer electrolytes for lithium (Li) batteries and lubricants. ,,− On the contrary, branched polymers with long branched chains or low branching degree not only have good mechanical strength but also are soluble or meltable, which are convenient for thermoplastic processing …”

Branched polymers have aroused great interest due to their less chain entanglement, high concentration of chain terminals, good solubility, and low viscosity in melts and solutions. In this Perspective, we highlight various synthesis strategies for branched polymers with different structures and discuss their applications in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries, coatings and membranes, surfactants, hydrogels, and so on. Here, we expect to arouse more synthesis approaches such as enzyme-catalyzed living radical polymerization and photoinitiated living radical polymerization and also to copolymerize monomers with different properties or to modify branched polymers in order to obtain functionalized branched polymers that can be produced under mild conditions.
