It explains why inorganic polymers—often based on silicon, phosphorus, oxygen, or nitrogen backbones—are increasingly studied, addressing limitations of organic polymers such as processing constraints, stability issues, degradation risks, and environmental concerns.

The coverage has been updated and expanded significantly to cover advances and interesting trends since the first edition appeared. The most obvious changes are the three new chapters, “Ferrocene-Based Polymers, and Additional Phosphorus-and Boron-Containing Polymers,” “Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Composites,” and “Preceramic Inorganic Polymers.”  \nThe authors once again hope that readers will be inspired to enter and contribute to this fascinating area of inorganic polymeric materials.  \nThis page intentionally left blank  \nPreface to the First Edition  \nMost polymers being synthesized, characterized, and utilized in today’s world are organic in nature. That is, their chain backbones consist primarily of carbon atoms, frequently along with some heteroatoms such as oxygen and nitrogen. Their attractive properties, such as easy processibility, high strength, and low density, have been exploited in all industrialized societies to the extent that it is now difficult to imagine life without them.  \nIn spite of their many successes, organic polymers have a number of deficiencies. For one, the monomers from which they are prepared are frequently subject to the vagaries of the petroleum industry. The polymers themselves frequently have low softening temperatures or low degradation temperatures. Many are also vulnerable to degradation from oxygen, ozone, or high-energy radiation. Some are subject to dissolution or swelling when in contact with solvents or fluids in commercial applications. Finally, many present environmental problems by resisting incorporation into the biosphere, or by forming highly toxic products upon combustion.  \nInorganic polymers, with backbones typically of silicon, phosphorus, oxygen, or nitrogen atoms, are now being more and more intensively studied. One obvious reason is the quest to find materials not suffering from some of the limitations mentioned above. No single polymer, of course, can be expected to meet all of ","cbCaig9jsQOCMUlz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig9jsQOCMUlz","pdf",2883544,353,"English","# Preface to the Second Edition\n# Preface to the First Edition","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary purpose of the book Inorganic Polymers in its second edition?\",\"answer\":\"The book aims to provide a broad overview of inorganic polymers that is useful for both newcomers and active researchers, while updating and expanding coverage beyond the first edition.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are inorganic polymers attracting increasing research attention?\",\"answer\":\"They are studied to find materials that avoid limitations of organic polymers, and because their different chemical nature may offer advantages such as improved thermal stability and benign degradation behavior.\"},{\"question\":\"What notable new chapters are introduced in the second edition?\",\"answer\":\"The second edition adds three new chapters: ferrocene-based polymers with additional phosphorus- and boron-containing polymers, inorganic-organic hybrid composites, and preceramic inorganic polymers.\"}]","Inorganic Polymers - Second Edition | PDF",1789974255,890]
