The copper‐catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) has emerged as the
most useful “click” chemistry. Polymer science has profited enormously from CuAAC by its …

The discovery of the first “living” radical polymerization by Otsu and co-workers (1) in 1982
heralded the start of a very exciting time for polymer chemists. Since then, a plethora of living …

Click chemistry, the subject of this tutorial review, is a modular synthetic approach towards
the assembly of new molecular entities. This powerful strategy relies mainly upon the …

Precision control of radical polymerization, or living radical polymerization, has been among
the most important and long-waited subjects in polymer chemistry and macromolecular …

Click chemistry constitutes a class of reactions broadly characterized by efficiency,
selectivity, and tolerance to a variety of solvents and functional groups. By far the most …

In 2001, Sharpless and co‐workers introduced “click” chemistry, a new approach in organic
synthesis that involves a handful of almost perfect chemical reactions. Among these carefully …

Recent developments in the synthesis of functional polymers with controlled architecture
and site-specific functionality via applying controlled radical polymerization (CRP) …

Precision synthesis of advanced polymeric materials requires efficient, robust, and facile
chemical reactions. Paradoxically, the synthesis of increasingly intricate macromolecular …

The metal catalyzed azide/alkyne 'click'reaction (a variation of the Huisgen 1, 3‐dipolar
cycloaddition reaction between terminal acetylenes and azides) has vastly increased in …

The increasing need for materials with tightly controlled structures will continue to fuel the
induction of synthetic organic concepts into materials science. One powerful example is the …
