Abstract The copper (I)‐catalyzed 1, 2, 3‐triazole‐forming reaction between azides and
terminal alkynes has become the gold standard of 'click chemistry'due to its reliability …

Following Sharpless′ visionary characterization of several idealized reactions as click
reactions, the materials science and synthetic chemistry communities have pursued …

This Perspective presents recent advances in macromolecular engineering enabled by
ATRP. They include the fundamental mechanistic and synthetic features of ATRP with …

Recent advances in polymer synthesis have significantly enhanced the ability to rationally
design block copolymers with tailored functionality. The self‐assembly of these …

Monomers composed of a (meth) acrylate moiety connected to a short poly (ethylene) glycol
(PEG) chain are versatile building‐blocks for the preparation of “smart” biorelevant …

The introduction of the click chemistry concept by Sharpless and colleagues in 2001 [1]
clearly marks a turning point in synthetic chemistry as its fundamental principles have been …

No copper needed: In recent years, a large number of metal‐free click reactions have been
reported based on thiol‐ene radical additions, Diels–Alder reactions, and Michael additions …

Radical mediated thiol-yne polymerization reactions complement the more well-known thiol-
ene radical polymerization processes, with the added advantage of increased functionality …

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

Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) is one of the most used polymers in medical and
biological applications. Its non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity, biocompatibility and solubility …
