Diels–Alder “click” reactions: recent applications in polymer and material science

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The “click” chemistry concept is based on utilizing rapid reactions which are efficient, versatile, and selective. Indeed, Diels–Alder (DA) reactions fulfill most of the requirements for the “click” chemistry concept. In this review, we discuss the recent reports concerned with the use of DA “click” reactions in the synthesis of various macromolecular architectures, bioconjugates and hybrid materials.
