Advanced Functional Molecules and Polymers

Consolidates the current knowledge of science and technology of polymers and other low molecular weight organic materials into a four-volume reference source. Topics covered include their synthesis, processing, theoretical theory, spectroscopy, structure-property relationship to device applications. The aim of these books is to bring together all aspects of functional molecular and polymeric materials currently studied in academic and industrial research by covering every single aspect of their science and engineering. Volume 3 focuses on electronic and photonic properties of defined chain length oligomers and polymers. Volume 4 focuses on various physical properties and applications of polymeric materials.
