Chapter 4. Fullerene-Containing Polymers
Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Series, 2011
Fullerene is one of the most fascinating classes of carbon clusters 1 and since the preparation in multigram amounts in 1990 of the most abundant member [60]fullerene, 2 it has attracted great interest due to its unique three-dimensional geometry and its outstanding magnetic, 3 superconducting, 4 electrochemical, 5 and photophysical 6 properties. However, because of the low solubility of C 60 and subsequently its scarce processability, these unique properties still are not widely employed in real applications. In this regard, the combination of fullerene chemistry and macromolecular chemistry provides an opportunity to create new fullerene-containing polymers, which show promise for an enormously broad scope of real applications since it merges C 60 properties with the ease and versatile processability and handling of polymers. This approach has led chemists to design and develop synthetic strategies aimed to obtain even more complex and fascinating novel fullerene-based architectures with unprecedented properties that have been recently reviewed. 7 Although polymer chemistry was a well-defined and-developed field, fullerene chemistry and properties, especially at the very beginning in the early 1990s, they were not completely disclosed and the combination of both aspects led to uncharacterisable or inutile AQ1 materials often obtained employing empirical synthetic methods. Fortunately, this experience paved the way for improving and
