“…Recent years have attracted a lot of interest in employing ‘click’ chemistry tools for multi-functionalization of polymeric materials, due to the efficient nature of these chemical transformations under relatively mild conditions [ 27 , 28 ]. In particular, the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition [ 29 ], strain-promoted (3+2) azide−alkyne cycloaddition [ 30 , 31 ], radical-mediated thiol-ene [ 32 , 33 ] and thiol-yne [ 34 , 35 ] reactions, Michael additions [ 36 ] and Diels–Alder [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ] reactions have been widely used for immobilization of (bio)molecules on a wide variety of polymeric interfaces. Among all ‘clickable’ units, the maleimide functional group attracts attention due to their facile reaction with thiol- and furan-containing molecules under mild conditions [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ].…”
