Advances in the Synthesis and Polymerization of Metal-Containing Monomers

Solution behavior of α, ι-(dimethylamino)polyisoprene coordinated to transition metal salts

“…Mag can be correlated to an apparent molecular mass, M^, by virtue of Flory's equation (eq 3) where K is a constant and where M0 is the molecular weight of the individual PIP macromolecule. From eqs 3 and 4, the expression DA = (Mag/Mo)2 (5) is obtained provided that K and a are assumed to be the same for both the aggregates and the single molecule. This is a reasonable approximation since Lantman et al34 have reported recently that individual ionomer molecules associate into molecular aggregates without significant changes in individual size.…”

“…In particular, the chemical modification of a polymer by a small percentage of groups that can coordinate to transition-metal salts is an effective way to cross-link a polymer thermoreversibly. [4][5][6] Although a wide variety of ligands is available, most of the polymers are modified by an amine. Bulk properties of this type of material have been investigated,4-6 and more recently growing attention has been paid to the solution behavior7'15 initially investigated in the 1960s.…”

Evaluation of conversion during the synthesis of aluminum (III) methacrylate-based copolymers using Raman spectroscopy and multivariate curve resolution

“…The class II is based on materials with covalent and ionic-covalent bonds [5]. Both hybrid class I and class II have several forms of synthesis, as for instance, the sol-gel process [6][7][8] and polymerization of metal-containing monomers (MCM) [9][10][11][12].…”

Tricarbonylchromium complexes of styrenes in radical copolymerization

“…1,4,7 These monomers were said to take part both in homopolymerization and copolymerization with common organic monomers. 7,8 Metal-containing polymers 9 are of interest both from practical and theoretical points of view. As far as practical usage of these materials is concerned, they are very attractive owing to their possible applications as catalysts of chemical processes, Xray absorbers or materials having optical, biocidal properties, etc.…”
