| Summary: | Preparation of multifunctional and well-defined macromolecules requires a smart selection of the most suitable controlled polymerization technique in combination with appropriate click reactions. In this review, we provide an overview on the use of various "clickable" initiators and monomers as well as on the postpolymerization modifications that have been widely used to construct clickable macromolecules. As such, this contribution will aid polymer chemists to select a suitable combination of CRP and click methodologies to design the target structures.
Combining the concepts of click chemistry and controlled radical polymerizations (CRPs), "clickable" initiators and monomers for CRPs as well as the postmodification reactions of prefunctional polymers have been widely used to construct clickable macromolecules. |

| Bibliography: | C. Remzi Becer was born in 1980 in Izmir, Turkey. He received his BSc degree in 2003 at the Chemistry Department of the Istanbul Technical University (ITU). In 2005, he received his MSc degree in Polymer Science and Technology at the ITU. He completed his PhD study titled as "Controlling Polymer Architectures" in 2009 under the supervision of Ulrich S. Schubert at the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) and the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (Germany). Since late 2009, he has been a Marie Curie Research Fellow in the University of Warwick (United Kingdom). His research interests include controlled living polymerization techniques, click reactions and glycopolymers. Richard Hoogenboom was born in 1978 in Rotterdam (Netherlands) and studied chemical engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e; Netherlands). In 2005, he obtained his PhD under the supervision of Ulrich S. Schubert (TU/e) and continued working as project leader for the Dutch Polymer Institute. After postdoctoral training with Martin Möller at the RWTH Aachen (Humboldt fellowship) and Roeland J. M. Nolte at the Radboud University Nijmegen (NWO veni-grant), he was appointed as associate professor at Ghent University from July 2010. His research interests include stimuli-responsive polymers, supramolecular polymers, and poly(2-oxazoline)s. Christian Pietsch studied chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (Germany). He completed his MSc in 2008 at the University of Technology in Eindhoven (Netherlands), where he worked on the synthesis of stimuli-responsive copolymers under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert. He continued as a PhD student in Jena working on responsive copolymers as well as living radical polymerization and dye-labeled polymers. Recently, he spent two months at CSIRO (Melbourne, Australia), where he carried out research on RAFT polymerizations. Ulrich Mansfeld studied chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena (Germany; 2003-2008) and accomplished the master thesis at the Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands) under the supervision of Prof. Ulrich S. Schubert. In 2009, he began his PhD studies working in the fields of controlled radical polymerizations and supramolecular chemistry. Ulrich S. Schubert was born in Tübingen in 1969. He studied chemistry at the Universities of Frankfurt and Bayreuth (both Germany) and the Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond (USA). His PhD thesis was executed at the University of Bayreuth and the University of South Florida/Tampa. After postdoctoral training with Professor Lehn at the Université Strasbourg (France) he moved to the Technische Universität München (Germany) to obtain his Habilitation in 1999. From 1999 to 2000 he held a temporal position as professor at the Center for NanoScience, Universität München (Germany). From 2000 to 2007 he was Full-Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology. Currently he holds a chair at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena. |
