Synthesis, characterization and application of soluble fullerenated polymer materials

This article only deals with the topic of intense interest to us and to a considerable extent of our own experimental results on the synthesis, characterization and application of C60-containing functional polymers such as poly(N-vinylcarbazole), polystyrene and polyacrylonitrile-based fullerene polymers. The results demonstrate that [60]fullerene and be directly incorporated into a variety of functional polymers by copolymerization or grafting, but also can be used to modify or improve the electronic, optical and physicochemical properties of polymers. Both the stereo-electroniceffect and me steric hindrance of C60 have an important influence on the structure and physicochemical properties of the parent polymer.
