Abstract Various aspects of polyphosphazene chemistry are reviewed. Stable poly (organophosphazenes) can be prepared from an inorganic precursor, poly(dichlorophosphazene), by careful control of polymerization and substitution reaction conditions. The bulk structure and properties of polyphosphazenes are discussed, and attention is given to those polymers which have promise as useful engineering materials. The successful preparation of stable poly(organophosphazenes) appears to have resulted in a new class of polymers for both specialty and large scale commercial development.
