Hyperbranched poly(ether amine) (hPEA) as novel backbone for amphiphilic one-component type-II polymeric photoinitiators

A series of amphiphilic polymeric photoinitiators with hyperbranched poly(ether amine) (hPEA) as novel backbone were developed, which can initiate photopolymerization of water-soluble and hydrophobic monomers very efficiency and might have great potential applications in the field of photo-curing.
