title: Copper-free click chemistry for the in situ crosslinking of photodegradable star polymers.
abstract: Bifunctional, fluorinated cyclooctynes were used for the in situ "click" crosslinking of azide-terminated photodegradable star polymers, yielding photodegradable polymeric model networks with well-defined structures and tunable gelation times.
