Post polymerization modification also known as polymer analogous modification is an alternative approach to overcome these limitations it is based on the polymerization of monomers with functional groups that are inert towards the polymerization conditions but allow a quantitative conversion in a subsequent reaction step yielding a broad range of other functional groups.
