Publisher's Synopsis
Conjugated polymers are a relatively new class of organic polymeric material with a wide variety of interesting properties. They exhibit non-linear optical properties which are dopable to high levels of conductivity and which have many of the processing properties normally associated with more common polymer materials.;In 1991, the Nobel Foundation brought together prominent researchers in chemistry, physics and materials science to discuss recent advances in conjugated polymers research. The resulting volume covers the field in detail, from chemical synthesis and electronic structure to applications and spectroscopies.
