A method for producing a curable composition, comprising:

• reacting a functionalized polymer bearing a first functional group with a functionalized silane bearing a second functional group in the presence of a metal catalyst,
• wherein the first functional group is selected from a group consisting of an azide and an alkyne;
• wherein the second functional group is different from the first functional group and selected from a group consisting of an azide and an alkyne;
• and
• wherein the result is a silyl-terminated polymer having a first silane group and a second silane group, the first silane group linked to the functionalized polymer via a first triazole moiety, and the second silane group linked to the functionalized polymer via a second triazole moiety;
• wherein the metal catalyst promotes cross-linking of the first silane group and the second silane group in the presence of atmospheric moisture.
