Nontraditional methods of synthesising metal-containing polymers

Complexes of metals with (meth)acrylates and acrylamides are used as examples for examining the application of nontraditional methods for initiating polymerisation of metal-containing monomers: graft, low-temperature, electrochemical, matrix, solid-state (under high pressure with shear deformation), frontal and spontaneous. Such approaches are demonstrated to be very effective for preparing metal-containing polymers with a wide spectrum of relative molecular masses and with different solubility and stereotacticity.
