In the two decades since the introduction of the “click chemistry” concept, the toolbox of “click
reactions” has continually expanded, enabling chemists, materials scientists, and biologists …

The incorporation of heteroatom-containing weak bonds along polymer backbones has
become a popular tool to accelerate degradation. Many methods have already been …

Polymers have become one of the largest and most important materials we use in daily life.
Their popularity has stemmed from their wide range of material properties combined with …

Nature on planet earth is dominated by poly (phosphoester) s (PPEs). They structure and
determine life in the form of deoxy-and ribonucleic acid (DNA & RNA), and, as …

Recent results for synthesis of end-functionalized polymers (EFP) by using olefin metathesis
polymerization have been introduced including basic characteristics in ring-opening …

This chapter highlights the current status of critically selected post‐functionalization
techniques of polymers via orthogonal ligation chemistry, reports the major characteristics of …

The development of “controlled” and “living” polymerization processes with high end‐group
fidelity has enabled an unprecedented range of polymeric materials with specific chain‐end …

We report the synthesis of a degradable polyphosphoramidate via ring-opening metathesis
polymerization (ROMP) with the Grubbs initiator (IMesH2)(C5H5N) 2 (Cl) 2Ru═ CHPh …

A structurally novel hyperbranched halogen-free poly (phosphoester)(hbPPE) is proposed
as a flame retardant in poly (ester) s and epoxy resins. hb polymeric flame retardants …

Sterically accessible Lewis donors are shown to accelerate decomposition during catalysis,
for a broad range of Grubbs-class metathesis catalysts. These include benzylidene …
