Click Chemistry in Materials Science

Abstract

Despite originating only a little more than a decade ago, click chemistry has become one of the most powerful paradigms in materials science, synthesis, and modifi cation. By developing and implementing simple, robust chemistries that do not require diffi cult separations or harsh conditions, the ability to form, modify, and control the structure of materials on various length scales has become more broadly available to those in the materials science community. As such, click chemistry has seen broad implement…
