Abstract: With the rapid development of the novel technology,advanced functional materials based on polyoxometalate-polymer hybrids with polymer processability and the functions of polyoxometalate (POM) clusters have important application prospect.According to the classification of chain configurations of POM-polymer hybrids,the research progress of polyoxometalate-polymer hybrids connected by covalent bond was reviewed.This paper focuses on our efforts in the development of POM-polymer hybrids using various synthetic methods.
