“…12,13 In our previous studies, to overcome some of the problems, we successfully synthesized novel side chain thioxanthone and benzophenone containing polystyrene based polymeric photoinitiators and they were used as polymeric photoinitiators in free radical polymerization. 5,6,10,[14][15][16] Over the last decade, efficient and versatile cross reactions such as radical coupling reactions, 14,17,18 click chemistry, 5,16,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] diels alder reactions, 5,33,34 thio-bromo click reaction, [35][36][37] etc., have been used to obtain functional polymers in quantitative yield. Cu (I) catalyzed 1,3-Huisgen dipolar cycloaddition is the most widely used reaction to synthesize telechelic polymers, 26,27 functional dendrimers, 23,38,39 hyperbranched polymers, 40 biopolymers, 41 polymeric photoinitiators 5,16 and so on.…”
