Synthetic
Metal-Containing Polymers
by Ian Manners

Synthetic Metal-Containing Polymers covers the major developments in the synthesis, properties, and applications of synthetic metal-containing macro-molecules.

The book includes chapters on the preparation and characterization of metal-containing polymers, metallocene-based polymers, rigid-rod organometallic polymers, coordination polymers, polymers containing main group metals, and also covers dendritic and supramolecular systems.

It describes both polymeric materials with metals in the main chain or side group structure and covers the literature up to the end of 2002.
