Hadziioannou G., Hutten P.F. (Eds.). Semiconducting Polymers. Chemistry, Physics and Engineering

Weinheim: Wiley-VCH, 2000. – 613 p.This book summarizes progress in areas of current activity within the field. The various chapters, all contributed by leading researchers, provide a summary and review of the field that will be useful and important to anyone seeking a strong background in the basic interdisciplinary science and an up-to-date "snapshot" of the current status of research. Emphasis is on the basic physics and chemistry of conjugated polymers as electronic and opto-electronic materials and on the performance (status, opportunities and limitations) of the electronic and opto-electronic devices that are responsible for the on-going revolution in "Plastic ElectronicsPoly(arylene vinylene)s - Synthesis and Applications in Semiconductor Devices
