Abstrakt: Abstract: In this work, a series of samples of a homopolymer of polyferrocenoylethylmethacrylate containing ferrocene groups in side chains is synthesized for the first time using the RAFT polymerization method and comprehensively studied. A homologous series of polymers differing in molar mass is obtained in a range sufficient for conformational analysis. The main hydrodynamic characteristics of polymers (intrinsic viscosity, sedimentation, and translational diffusion coefficients) are studied, and the most probable conformation of polymers in a solution as well as the main conformational parameters (thermodynamic rigidity and polymer-chain diameter) are determined. Also, suspensions of nanoparticles are prepared on the basis of the studied polymers by the method of nanoprecipitation. The sizes of the obtained particles are analyzed both on substrates and in suspensions.
