Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers

A balanced and concise coverage of inorganic polymers

Inorganic polymers contain elements other than carbon as part of
their principal backbone structure and are known to exhibit a wide
range of composition and structure. Emphasizing physical
properties, chemical synthesis, and characterization of inorganic
polymers, Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers presents valuable
and informative coverage of the field.

With numerous examples of real-world practical applications and
end-of-chapter exercises, Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers is
suitable for use as a text in special topics in organic and polymer
chemistry courses. The book features useful sections on:

• Classification schemes for inorganic polymers

• Synthesis of inorganic polymers, including step-growth
  syntheses, chain polymerizations, ring-opening polymerizations, and
  reductive coupling reactions

• Practical inorganic polymer chemistry topics such as polymer
  elastomers, dental and medical polymers, lubricants, lithographic
  resists, pre-ceramics, and more

Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers is a
valuable one-volume introduction for professional and student
inorganic chemists, polymer chemists, and materials scientists.
