Abstract Two mean‐field kinetic models of the polymerization of an AB 2 monomer that lead to hyperbranched polymers are presented. The first model deals with branched molecules only and constitutes a new version of the Flory theory. Its modification, which takes into account ring formation, is the second model. Preliminary results of the application of the models are shown and discussed.
