This talk will describe our current efforts at utilizing a facile, nucleophilic subsititution reaction between polymers decorated with α-bromo ester pendant groups and a variety of thiols (so called thio-bromo "click" reaction). We have shown that this is a simple route toward the preparation of polymers that can be used as (i) flame-rerardant materials, (ii) drug delivery vehicles, as well as (iii) organo-and hydrogels.
