Synthesis and evaluation of metal-containing polymers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Photoconducting Polymers/Metal-Containing Polymers

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 115))

Abstract

The review aims at highlighting the significant developments during the last decade (1980–1991) in the field of metal-containing polymers with special reference to synthetic methodologies used and evaluation of various properties. The synthetic procedures so far adopted include (a) polymerization/copolymerization of metal-complexed monomer moieties (b) anchoring of metal complexes on preformed polymers (c) plasma polymerization (d) doping and (e) mechanochemical synthesis. The variety of monomer/polymer systems studied under the above procedures include the acrylics, styrene derivatives heterocyclics and miscellaneous polycondensates such as polyimides, polyamideimides, polyethylene oxides, metal porphorazines, phthalocyanines, crown-ethers, Schiff's bases and liquid crystal polymer systems.

The review also highlights, how and to what extent metal ion incorporation can modify the essential bulk properties of the base polymer — such as thermal stability, dielectric, conductivity and other physicochemical characteristics.

In general, the thermal stability of metal-containing polymer systems is relatively enchanced compared to that of the bulk polymer. Various factors including size and concentration of the metal ions, and crystal field stabilization energy of the anchored metal complexes influence the stability to different extents.

The conductivity of many metal modified systems is reportedly enhanced due to various factors such as charge transfer between metal ions and the electron-rich heteroatoms, elimination of impurities, and changes in the transport number of cations and anions due to environmental changes in the solid electrolytes. Even interesting cases have been reported where a polymer film can reach the electronically conducting metallic level by cis-trans isomerization.

Metal containing polymers have emerged as a new generation material with tremendous potential in fields like superconducting materials, ultra-high strength materials, liquid crystals and biocompatible polymers.
