Polymer Chemistry: Phosphorus-Based Polymers: From Synthesis to Applications (Hardcover)

Phosphorus-based polymers are gaining wide appeal for many functions including biomedical applications, metal complexation, fire retardant additives and fuel cell membranes. This is the first book dedicated to phosphorus-containing polymers and provides a comprehensive overview of the different polymers and their uses. The first part of the book covers the synthesis and polymerisation of different phosphorus containing monomers including phosphorus containing (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylamide and viny or allyl monomers, followed by different phosphorus containing polymers such as polymer poly(phosphoesters)and polyphosphazenes. The second part of the book contains specific chapters detailing different applications.
