Compared with linear thermoresponsive polymers hyperbranched ones having spheroid-like structure exhibited an unusual salt effect: a non-linear LCST decrease upon increasing the concentration of various salts such as NaCl, KCl or Na2SO4 has been observed. The LCST variation of such polymers was more sensitive to the presence of salt.
