- Abstract:
- Preparation of multifunctional and well-defined macromolecules requires a smart selection of the most
suitable controlled polymerization technique in combination with appropriate click reactions. In this
review, we provide an overview on the use of various ‘‘clickable’’ initiators and monomers as well as on
the postpolymerization modifications that have been widely used to construct clickable
macromolecules. As such, this contribution will aid polymer chemists to select a suitable combination
of CRP and click methodologies to design the target structures.
