A wide variety of aliphatic polycarbonates are readily synthesized via the copolymerization of epoxides and carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, these polymeric materials have limited utility, in part because of their lack of functionalities. These shortcomings can be modified by way of post-polymerization processes. Prominent among these modifications are click chemistry. Relevant pathways for these materials
