Solid polymer electrolyte and compound used for thereof are disclosed. The compound has a dendritic macromolecule and a cationic metal. The solid polymer electrolyte has increased ion conductivity even if the electrolyte is used at low temperature. Said solid polymer electrolyte is useful for a secondary battery.

The present invention provides a sustained release composition having hyperbranched polymers that are polyesters that are biobased and biodegradable, and that have at least one active ingredient, which composition delivers the active ingredient over time. These active ingredients can be a wide variety of compounds so long as they can covalently bind to the polymer or be encapsulated in the polymer in a manner that is released at the point of delivery, usually by acid hydrolysis or enzymatic bond scission.

PEHAM dendrimers of the formula: ##STR00001## Specific PEHAM dendrimers are used in a formulation with an active agent for agricultural purposes. In particular, the PEHAM dendrimers may be used for increasing the efficacy of the active agent in various ways, such as by improving solubility of the active agent in the formulation, by improving adhesion and penetration of the active agent to plant surfaces, or by improving the water-fastness of the active agent to the plant or seed. The PEHAM dendrimers may also increase the efficacy of the active agent by increasing soil penetration of the active agent to reach the plant roots or under soil parts, by reducing soil adhesion of the active agent to reach the plant roots or under soil parts, or by reducing enzymatic degradation of the active agent by the plant or seed or microorganisms in the soil.

It is provided a hydrogel comprising dendritic polyglycerol units and polyether units. The dendritic polyglycerol units correspond to general formula (I). They comprise a dendritic polyglycerol core having terminal hydroxyl groups and terminal sulfate or sulfonate substituents, wherein a degree of substitution of the dendritic polyglycerol core with sulfate or sulfonate substituents lies in a range from 10% to 98%. The polyether units correspond to general formula (II), wherein the dendritic polyglycerol units and the polyether units are covalently bound to each other via the bonds illustrated by dashed lines in formula (I) and formula (II). The hydrogel has antiviral properties and can be used, e.g., as mucus replacement, cartilage replacement, or synovial fluid replacement.
