| Abstract: | Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the art for synthesizing functional polymers and their expanding range of applications. The synthetic and mechanistic aspects are discussed for key reactions that fulfill “click” requirements and their applications in construction of macromolecules with linear, branched, and other complex architectures are described. |
