The results of a comparative study of hyperbranched, partially esterified polyglycerols with their linear polyglycerol analogues with respect to molecular encapsulation and phase transfer are reported. Two hyperbranched polyglycerol samples with molecular weights of 3000 and 8000 g/mol (M w/M n= 1.3), respectively, have been partially esterified using palmitoyl chloride. The same modification was applied to the structurally analogous linear ...
