Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft
materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

Information is created, processed, transported, and detected using electrons, photons,
phonons, or plasmons. Of these basic components of information technology, utilization of …

The “click” chemistry concept is based on utilizing rapid reactions which are efficient,
versatile, and selective. Indeed, Diels–Alder (DA) reactions fulfill most of the requirements …

Click chemistry constitutes a class of reactions broadly characterized by efficiency,
selectivity, and tolerance to a variety of solvents and functional groups. By far the most …

The modification of polymers after the successful achievement of a polymerization process
represents an important task in macromolecular science. Cycloaddition reactions, among …

Compared with traditional inorganic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, organic
second-order NLO materials have many advantages in bandwidth, dielectric constant, half …

With a span as long as the history of polymer science itself, post‐polymerization modification
represents a versatile platform for the preparation of diversely functionalized polymers from …

The increasing need for materials with tightly controlled structures will continue to fuel the
induction of synthetic organic concepts into materials science. One powerful example is the …

This review provides a survey of nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores and materials
incorporating them which have been demonstrated over the last several years. Conventional …
