Macromolecular Metal Carboxylates and Their Nanocomposites

Data on the synthesis and physicochemical studies of salts of mono- or dibasic unsaturated carboxylic acids and macromolecular metal carboxylates are generalised and described systematically in this monograph. The structures and properties of the COO group in various compounds and characteristic features of the structures of carboxylate are analysed. The main routes and kinetics of polymerisation transformations of unsaturated metal carboxylates are considered. The attention of focused on the effect of the metal ion on the monomer reactivity and the polymer morphology and structure. The possibility of stereochemical control of radical polymerisation of unsaturated metal carboxylates is demonstrated. The electronic, magnetic, optical, absorption and thermal properties of metal (co)polymers and nanocomposites and their main applications are also considered.

First monograph systematizing the data of unsaturated metal carboxylates and their macromolecular complexes and nanocomposites Covers the developments in formation and characterization of this class of materials Appeals to researchers and engineers alike Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
