Abstract A lot of ferrocene polymers have been synthesized and used in various bio-applications. Ferrocene-containing polymers have emerged, as an important class of the metal-containing polymers, with unique redox properties and thus much considerable attention has been paid for the application of these polymer systems. The redox process may be associated with changes in the properties of the polymeric material. Thus, depending on their oxidation state (oxidized or reduced) polymers can present different electronic properties such as ionic and electrical conductivity, optical properties, mechanical or chemical properties. Due to the reversibility and easy external control of the redox process, these polymers are interesting for different applications and the design of a number of electrochemical devices such as batteries, biosensors. Furthermore, these polymers are finding new applications in materials science including the development of drug delivery systems.
