Modular synthesis of block copolymers via cycloaddition of terminal azide and alkyne functionalized polymers.
Polymeric building blocks containing terminal azide and alkyne functionalities are prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and used to modularly synthesize block copolymers via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, which are quantitative according to SEC measurements.
