Materials Science

Materials science plays an important role in the advancement of many fields, including medicine & health, information & communication, national security & space, transportation, etc. For many years, material scientists have struggled to achieve a desired set of properties in materials in the simplest and most efficient way possible. These properties include mechanical and physical properties, such as toughness, modulus, glass transition temperature, refractive index, and clarity, as well as chemical properties such as solvent compatibility, surface energy, chemical functionality, and biocompatibility^[1]. At present, click chemistry is a powerful tool for materials science and has been widely applied to materials synthesis and materials modification. This is due to its high yield, high selectivity and exceptional tolerance to a wide range of functional groups and reaction conditions. The introduction of click chemistry may push the development of materials into a new era. Alfa Chemistry is an expert in click chemistry and focuses on exploring the various applications of click chemistry in materials science.
