“…For these reasons HBP have replaced dendrimers in many applications, and are now commonly used in various fields of application, including therapeutics, drug delivery, coatings, and as rheological or curing agents [3,4,5,6]. Recently, interest in the synthesis of the bio-based hyperbranched polymers has quickly grown as the logical consequence of the success of green chemistry in the polymer field [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. However, to our knowledge, synthesis from lignin degradation products feedstock has yet to be reported.…”
