Inorganic polymers, formation

The polymers which have been used to illustrate problems of inorganic polymer formation have been lieteroatomic. that is, their chains are built from different atoms alternating with each other. The other structure mentioned has been homoatomic—all the atoms in the chain are the same. There aie only a few homoatomic polymers of airy promise. Most elements will form only cyclic materials of low molecular weight if they polymerize at all. In addition to the silane polymers, black phosphorus, a high-pressure modification of the element, forms in polymeric sheets.

The thermal polymerization of N-trimethylsilylphosphoranimines 2215 to 2216 with elimination of CF3CH20SiMe3 2217 is the prototype for formation of inorganic polymers [5, 23, 24]. Polyphosphazene 2216 is also prepared from bromodimethyl(tri-... 

The reaction results in the formation of a Si O—Si siloxane bond in which two silicon atoms are bridged by oxygen. The remaining three Si—OH sylanol groups can also be involved in condensation reactions. This will lead to the polymerization of silicic acid with the formation of branched inorganic polymers. 

Recent developments in the cross-polymerization of the organic components used in bicontinuous microemulsions ensure the successful formation of transparent nanostruc-tured materials. Current research into using polymerizable bicontinuous microemulsions as a one-pot process for producing functional membranes and inorganic/polymer nanocomposites is highlighted with examples. 

This type of cross-polymerization of all of the organic components (hke MMA, HEMA and a polymerizable surfactant) in a bicontinuous microemulsion is an important area of recent development in microemulsion polymerization, which can be used to produce nanostructures of transparent polymer solids. The polymerization can be readily initiated using either redox or photo-initiators. The gel formation usually occurred within 20 minutes. The use of this novel type of microemulsion polymerization for preparing transparent inorganic-polymer nanocomposites in the form of films or sheets is emerging and exciting. However, very little pubhshed information about this type of nanocomposite is available, as will be described in the following sections.

Terbium complexes reported for electroluminescence can be separated mainly into two classes terbium carboxylates and P-diketone complexes. Terbium carboxylates have good luminescence but they are difficult to use as efficient emission materials in OLEDs due to their multi-coordination mode and consequent formation of inorganic polymers with poor solubility or volatility. For these reasons, in this section we will focus on use of the newly developed f)-diketonate terbium complexes in OLEDs.
