Abstract

The main advances in and problems of polymerisation, copolymerisation, as well as graft polymerisation of metal-containingmonomers (MCM) are analysed. These are classified in terms of the type of bond between the metal and the organic componentof the molecule into three principal groups, namely MCM with σ-, nv-, and π-bonded metal, are analysed. Attention isconcentrated on the influence of the nature of the metal (both transition and non-transition) on the polymerisation process andon the properties of the products. A systematic account is given of the principal data for the polycondensation of metal-containingcompounds. The applications of the metal polymer synthesised are considered. The bibliography includes 215 references.
