Controlled Fabrication of Multimetallic Building Blocks for Hybrid Nanomaterials

Polymers with different metal complexes in their side chains are considered promising high-performance materials with a wide variety of applications. However, conventional fabrication methods are unsuitable for constructing such polymers because controlling their resulting metal composition is complicated. Recently, scientists from Japan have developed a method to overcome this limitation and successfully produce multimetallic copolymers, which can be used as building blocks to create future hybrid materials.
