“…Second is a metal deposition process in which the polymer film is coated with a thin metallic surface layer by several techniques such as evaporation, sputtering, electroplating, and electrolysis. 65,66 These processes are not considered as real methods of metallization; rather, they are dispersion of a metal powder in the polymer (first process) or an adhesion between the metal and the polymer (second process). Due to the substantial reduction of the mechanical properties of the polymer in the first process and being troublesome as well as high costs of the second process which often requires several surface treatments to enhance the adhesion between the metal and the polymer, 67 –71 a new trend had recently been established for preparation of metallized films based on metal complexes of PAHs.…”

The review summarizes the various methods of preparing wholly aromatic polyamide–hydrazides (PAHs). Polyhydrazides are a class of polymers that possess in their repeating units one amide (–NHOC–) and one hydrazide (–CONHNHOC–) linking bond between appropriate aromatic nuclei. The review provides several figures of different molecular structures of PAH and expounds the methods of polymerization, low, high temperature, and phosphorylation polycondensation methods. Polyhydrazides exhibit some unique and potentially useful properties such as outstanding thermal and thermo-oxidative resistance, very high mechanical strength, and ultrahigh moduli. PAHs undergo structural transformation into poly(amide-1,3,4-oxadiazole)s upon heating, which are also considered highly thermally stable polymers. The review presents a description of the structure–property relation of PAHs. The application of PAHs in reverse osmosis applications has been discussed, as well as the preparation of fibers and metallized PAHs films. Modification of the PAH with carbon nanotubes and graphene and the future prospects for PAHs were introduced with comprehensive references pertaining to this area of research.
