Cardo Polymers

Abstract
Different properties of polymers are largely determined by their chemical structure. In recent years polymers containing at least one element in the repeating unit that is included in the cyclic side group have become the subject of many investigations. It has been proposed that such polymers [1] be termed cardo polymers from the Latin “cardo” (a loop), since such groups can be considered as loops at the backbone of the macromolecule:
