Postpolymerization modification is a chemical operation on an existing polymer chain. Many new chemical reactions, i.e., click reactions, have incorporated functional units easily. While it requires a separate preparation of a polymer template with reactive units, our group has worked on a direct functionalization of commodity polymers, which are chemically and thermally inert in general. Our recent results on the functionalization of poly(methyl acrylate), poly(methyl acrylic acid), and poly(ethylene glycol) will be shared, and further directions will be discussed.
