Metal and semi-metal containing polymers often have additional properties not known to traditional macromolecules. In this first volume in a news series focusing on thematic reviews of related applications, this volume presents a historical overview of the discovery and development of metal and metalloid containing polymers. The most significant discoveries of the past 50 years are described by a team of chemists from Canada and the United States.
