Abstract

Polymers containing the highly reactive azlactone group have emerged as a powerful platform useful in various application areas. This Highlight summarizes recent developments in the field of azlactone-derived polymers made in our group using controlled radical polymerizations (ATRP and RAFT) and ‘click’ chemistry methodology (thiol-Michael addition), leading to well defined reactive polymers.
