Metallopolymers (MPs) or metal-containing polymers have shown great potential as self-healing and shape memory materials due to their unique characteristics, including universal architectures, composition, properties and surface chemistry. Over the past few decades, the exponential growth of many new classes of MPs that deal with these issues has been demonstrated. This review presents and assesses the latest achievements and problems associated with the use of MPs as self-healing and shape memory materials. Among the most widely used MPs with self-healing properties, metal complexes based on polymers containing phenol, carboxylic acid, pyridine, azole, histidine and urethane donor fragments are identified. Particular attention is paid to the principles of action of the shape memory MPs. Of considerable interest is the use of MPs as functional materials for sensors, soft electronic devices, transistors, conductors, nanogenerators, bone tissue engineering, etc. Finally, the problems and future prospects of MPs with self-healing and shape memory properties are outlined. This review also analyzes articles published over the past five years.
金属聚合物（MPs）或含金属聚合物因其独特的结构、组成、性能和表面化学性质，在自修复和形状记忆材料方面显示出巨大的潜力。在过去的几十年中，已经证明了许多处理这些问题的新型 MPs 呈指数级增长。本综述介绍并评估了 MPs 作为自修复和形状记忆材料的最新进展和问题。在具有自修复性能的最广泛使用的 MPs 中，确定了基于含酚、羧酸、吡啶、唑、组氨酸和氨酯供体片段的聚合物的金属配合物。特别关注形状记忆 MPs 的作用原理。相当有趣的是 MPs 作为传感器、软电子设备、晶体管、导体、纳米发电机、骨组织工程等的功能材料的应用。最后，概述了具有自修复和形状记忆性能的 MPs 的问题和未来前景。本综述还分析了过去五年发表的文章。
