Metal Containing Polymeric Systems formatIsbn:Softcover 9781461594178 This new work on oral 9783642424038 This new work on oral complications of cancer chemotherapy is edited by two dentists who have made pioneering contributions in this previously neglected area Both fundamental theory and more ad vanced theory were covered Research on metal containing polymers began in the early 1960's when several workers found that vinyl ferrocene and other vinylic transition metal u com plexes would undergo polymerization under the same conditions as conventional organic monomers to form high polymers which incorporated a potentially reactive metal as an integral part of the polymer structures where the advantage of homo geneous catalysis known reaction mechanisms and the advantage of heterogeneous catalysis simplicity and ease of recovery of catalysts could both be obtained
