The first bulk photopolymerization of multifunctional alkyne and azide monomers using the CuAAC reaction is successfully carried out from low molecular weight, nonviscous monomer resins. Compared to other traditional step‐growth bulk photopolymerization, this approach readily provides crosslinked, high glass transition temperature polymers that incorporate triazole linkages throughout the polymer structure with great temporal control.
