Hybrid polymers represent a particular class of polymers, which main chains consist of organic and inorganic moieties. Due to such a feature, they have properties of the both components above. Hence stands the major premise of their research and of the development of hybrid polymer-based materials. Hybrid polymers are intensively studied and widely used in medicine, computing and analytical technique. They are also in use as drug carriers and metal particle-carrying substance, as well as membranes and semiconductors.
Polymers were synthesized on the basis of polyphenylenes and metal clusters and the polymerization mechanism has been proposed. Such materials have graphene-like cycles in their structures as confirmed by WAXS data. Inorganic clusters are located between grapheme layers. Clusters include stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric oxides as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. There is a possibility to control characteristics of graphene-like structures adjusting temperature and pressure of polymerization. Properties of hybrid materials are dependent on degrees of transition of organic component of metal-complex oligomeric precursor into graphene-like state.
