About this book

Conducting polymers (CPs) is a relatively new field utilizing the unique electronic properties of a class of easily synthesized, primarily organic materials with the predominant property of high and controllable conductivity and subsidiary properties emanating from this conductivity and the associated causative electronic structure.
Conducting Polymers, Fundamentals and Applications: A Practical Approach deals with the practical fundamentals and applications of conducting polymers. Written from a pedagogical point of view and at a very basic level this book provides a thorough grounding in CPs. Readers will find this book may be used as the basis for further work, as a reference, or as a text supplementing advanced undergraduate- or graduate-level courses.

Reviews

`This book is intended to address the needs of the researcher who does not routinely work on the development of conducting polymers, but rather who uses these materials in their application.... Written in a very practical and useful form, the detail is sufficient to give the reader a good working knowledge ... and may perhaps generate new ideas. Being easy to read and understand, this is an experimentalist dream book ... With over 1,0000 references, practical examples, problems, and exercises, this book is an excellent reference for those working with conductive polymers or as a supplemental text in an advanced garduate course.'
IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, 18:3 (2002)
