In a world dominated by plastics, functional polymers are increasingly prominent materials due to their unique properties and applications. Phosphorus-containing polymers are found ubiquitously in nature, synthetic molecules bearing comparable functionalities can therefore easily interact with biological systems. Phosphorus also binds readily to metals, leading to applications ranging from anti-corrosion coatings to catalysts. Phosphoric acid provides proton conductivity in some types of fuel cells. This book is meant for students and professionals in the fields of polymer chemistry, material...
