Recent Research Progress in the Synthesis of Polyphosphazene and Their Applications.

In the past five decades, many new types of polymers, containing nitrogen and phosphorus atoms as a significant part of the polymer backbone, have been synthesized. This paper reviews the developments in the field of polyphosphazenes and their applications. In this paper, synthesis, characterization, functionalization and practical applications of polyphosphazenes are described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
