Abstract : [en] In this work, click chemistry was sucessfully applied to the chemical modification of aliphatic polyesters with the purpose to tailor their physical properties. The developped strategy was then applied to the synthesis of materials, such as smart partially degradable hydrogels or antibacterial polyesters. Last, the synthesis of amphiphilic star-shaped copolyester was investigated.
