title: Combining ring-opening metathesis polymerization and thiol-ene coupling chemistries: facile access to novel functional linear and nonlinear macromolecules.
abstract: The aim of this article is to highlight recent examples in which two powerful synthetic tools, namely ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and thiol-ene (including the thiol-Michael variant) click chemistry have been combined to facilitate the preparation of novel functional materials of varying topology.
