Since dendritic polymers have excellent characteristic physical properties such as low viscosity, good solubility, and many functional groups, compared with corresponding linear polymers, they have been of great interest in the field of polymer chemistry. Among them, hyperbranched polymers have great possibility as high performance and new photo‐curable polymers and oligomers in chemical industry. In this paper, we report the synthesis and photochemical reaction of certain hyperbranched polymers such as hyperbranched epoxy‐methacrylate, hyperbranched oxetane‐methacrylate, and hyperbranched polyurethane‐methacrylate, and some physical properties of the resulting cured films.
