| Abstract: | Block copolymers in seconds : Catalyst‐free, ambient‐temperature click conjugation of individual polymer strands becomes possible using novel ATRP‐derived cyclopentadienyl‐capped polymers in an extremely rapid hetero‐Diels–Alder cycloaddition with macromolecules equipped with electron‐deficient dithioester end groups prepared by the RAFT process.  |
