Polymeric Coordination Complexes with d-Block Salts

Polymeric Coordination Complexes with d-Block Salts [Pg.34]

Unlike the well-known phenomenon of plasticization, transition metal salts typically increase the glass-transition temperature of polymers that contain attractive ligands in the sidegroup. A plausible mechanism discussed previously in this chapter involves acid-base interactions between the metal center and appropriate functional groups in the polymer via ligand exchange. Whereas plasticizers interact [Pg.34]
