Abstract: We call Poincaré time the time associated to the Poincaré (or first return) map of a vector field. In this paper we prove the non-accumulation of isolated critical points of the Poincaré time $ T$ on hyperbolic polycycles of polynomial vector fields. The result is obtained by proving that the Poincaré time of a hyperbolic polycycle either has an unbounded principal part or is an almost regular function. The result relies heavily on the proof of Il'yashenko's theorem on non-accumulation of limit cycles on hyperbolic polycycles.
