The metal catalyzed azide/alkyne 'click'reaction (a variation of the Huisgen 1, 3‐dipolar
cycloaddition reaction between terminal acetylenes and azides) has vastly increased in …

In this critical review, we look at how the functionalization of solid substrates by self-
assembly processes provides the possibility to tailor their surface properties in a controllable …

Materials fabrication with nanoscale structural precision based on bottom-up-type self-
assembly has become more important in various current disciplines in chemistry including …

Precision synthesis of advanced polymeric materials requires efficient, robust, and facile
chemical reactions. Paradoxically, the synthesis of increasingly intricate macromolecular …

Dendrimers up to the fourth generation were successfully prepared via the divergent growth
strategy using a combination of thiol-ene “click” chemistry and traditional esterification …

A series of alkene-functional polymers were synthesized by controlled polymerization
techniques in order to investigate and compare the efficiency and orthogonality of both …

Covalent layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a powerful method used to construct functional
ultrathin films that enables nanoscopic structural precision, componential diversity, and …

The CuAAC “click” reaction has developed as one of the most useful and widely employed
reactions in ligation within polymer chemistry. This is due to the unique properties of the Cu …

The enrichment of materials synthesis with the diverse chemical building blocks and
functional groups of small molecule organic chemistry has been greatly accelerated in …

Both function and use of nanoparticles (NPs) to a great extent are dominated by interfacial
energies, which in turn can be addressed by chemical modifications. This article focuses …
