Summary The formation of poly(etheylene glycol) (PEG) model network hydrogels via an A 2 + B 3 inverse‐electron‐demand tetrazine‐olefin Diels‐Alder cycloaddition is reported. This method provides an efficient, additive‐free, colorimetric gelation reaction that will complement other “click chemistry” approaches to model network synthesis.
