Polyacetylene and Polyarylenes: Synthesis and Conductive Properties (Hardcover)

This monograph presents a chemical approach to the design of physical and chemical properties of conducting polymers. By means of treating intrinsic features of different polymers, the authors consider general regularities and phenomena connecting micro- and macro-scopic structures with conducting properties. A critical analysis of recent theory on electrophysical behavior based on solition/polaron pictures is also included. Due to the vast number of references cited, the monograph can be regarded as a guide book on the principles of design and physical and chemical properties of conducting polymers, as well as their possible industrial applications.
