Advanced Macromolecular Engineering with Modular Chemical Instruments

Nelson Darwin*

More than ever, modern polymer research needs quick and efficient chemical reactions to build intricate macro or supramolecular structures. The current feature article highlights our most recent attempts to create macromolecular synthesis specific modular synthetic platforms. The macromolecular engineering potentials of two “click” reactions, I the radical addition of mercaptans onto vinyl double bonds and (ii) the copper catalyzed cycloaddition of azides and terminal alkynes are two examples.
