Polymerisation of αβ-Unsaturated Sulphur-containing Compounds

The review deals with the present state of the problem of the polymerisation of unsaturated sulphur-containing monomers with sulphide, sulphoxide, and sulphone groups in the immediate vicinity of the double bond. The mechanisms of polymerisation reactions involving various catalytic systems and the effect of the heteroatom on the polymerisation of the above monomers as well as the fields of practical application of the polymers based on them are discussed.
