Springer - Inorganic and Organometallic Oligomers and Polymers

Explore the expanding frontier of polymer science with this comprehensive collection from the 33rd IUPAC Symposium on Macromolecules. While much of the existing literature focuses on carbon-based polymers, this volume shifts the focus toward the growing field of inorganic and organometallic chemistry. This text addresses the intense scientific interest in materials that offer novel optical, electronic, or magnetic properties. It provides essential insights into polymers that function as precursors for advanced materials, including ceramics, semiconductors, metals, and superconductors. By examining the unique bond types and reactions available to inorganic and organometallic chemists, this book offers a perspective that goes beyond traditional organic polymer studies. It is a vital resource for researchers and students looking to understand the development of next-generation functional materials.
