Summary: Novel polymers containing refractory metal in the main chain or side chains can be prepared. An attractive approach is polymerization of the Hf (Ta, Nb)‐monomers with (meth)acrylate, fumarate or monomethylmethacrylate ethyleneglycol groups, synthesized for the first time in this study. New types of hafnium (tantalum, niobium)‐containing nanocomposites are prepared by combining polymer synthesis and controlled thermolysis. The composition and structure of the synthesized metal‐containing precursors and thermolysis products are determined by elemental analysis, IR and 1H‐NMR spectroscopies, X‐ray diffraction and TEM analysis.
