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-con-taining functional polymers such as poly(N-vinylcarbazole),polystyrene and polyacrylonitrile-based fullerene polymers.The results demonstrate that [60] fullerene can be directly incorporated into a variety of functional polymers by copolymer-ization or grafting,but also can be used to modify or improve the electronic,optical and physicochemical properties of polymers.Both the stereo-electroniceffect and the steric hindrance of C60 have an important influence on the structure and physicochemical properties of the parent polymer.
