Hyperbranched polymer produced from triglycerides have been polymerized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). Triglyceride is one of the main components in vegetable oils and has been considered stable, non-toxic and environmentalfriendly. Additionally, the unsaturation of fatty acid chains makes triglycerides competitive as monomer. Therefore, triglycerides are considered one of the most important bio-based chemical resources. The resulting hyperbranched polymers have great potential in coating, drug delivery, and etc.. Chemical modification has been applied to increase chemical activities of double bonds by introducing acrylate groups. Due to the high unsaturation of modified triglycerides (∼ 2.6 functionality per molecule) , radical polymerization leads to macro-gelation at low conversion according to the classic Flory-Stockmayer theory. However, this work demonstrates that gelation process is easily affected or even avoid by simply tuning reaction conditions, which affect the competition of inter-/intra molecular reactions. The intra-molecular reactions decrease the efficiency of polymerization and leads the cyclings to form within macromolecules. The increased proportion of intra-molecular reactions not only suppresses the gelation process, but also leads to heterogeneity in structure. The less homogeneous structures deviate their chain relaxation dynamics from classic models. Zimm model and Rouse model have been successfully used to describe relaxation dynamics for hyperbranched polymers. Due to the high density of side chains, main chain entanglement is largely restricted. Furthermore, the side chains also interacts with the main chains, may or may not providing drag or friction, leading the relaxation process obeying Zimm model or Rouse model. In this work, a close study of hyperbranched PAESO relaxation process has been done. Discussion about how branches and cyclings deviates the process from ideal Zimm model has given. Furthermore, in this work, a study of different triglyceride compositions has been done, i.e. what oleic/linoleic/linolenic fatty acids behave in reaction and
