The field of polymer science has undergone a remarkable transformation with the introduction of click chemistry, a concept celebrated with the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Click chemistry offers an efficient, precise, and versatile approach to polymer design and synthesis, underpinned by selective, high-yield reactions. It empowers researchers to construct well-defined polymers with controlled structures, precise functional group placement, and predictable chain lengths, extending beyond linear polymers to include complex architectures like dendrimers, star polymers, and block copolymers.
This innovation has found applications across diverse domains, from nanotechnology and materials science to biotechnology and drug delivery systems.
