Abstract: Hyperbranched polymers have broad adoption prospects in coatings industry, rheological modifier, nano technology and the nearly spherical three-dimensional structure, many internal cavities, low viscosity, and high reactivity. From the perspective of the textile industry, the fabric dying and fabric antibacterial of hyperbranched polymer nano materials are studied, as well as its adoption as fibre leather fatliquoring agent in the process of leather fatliquoring, to review the adoption of hyperbranched polymer in textile industry. The adoption of polymer in textile industry, massive documents has been referred for analysis. From the perspective of dying, hyperbranched polymer can be applied to polypropylene dyeing, salt-free dyeing, dispersant-compound dyeing, and anti-staining through modification and polymerisation. Nano-Ag is modified by hyperbranched polymer to obtain the colloidal solution, after which the silk undergoes antibacterial treatment, and the finished fabrics all show strong antibacterial properties. Nano-Ag treatment of silk by steaming method can achieve better antibacterial properties. The polyamide-type hyperbranched polymer go through hydroxyl activation, and the linear-hyperbranched polymer is obtained by acylation reaction, which can be further modified by esterification reaction and compounding methods. After it is adopted in leather fatliquoring, the collagen fibres of the leather are filled, thereby increasing the softness and thickening rate of the leather.

Keywords: hyperbranched polymer; textile industry; dyeing; antibacterial property; leather fatliquoring.
