Electrical Properties of Polymers : Chemical Principles

This book treats polymeric materials from the most insulating to the most conducting (superconductive) and is an effort to combine and correlate some of the experimental and theoretical literature in this field. The electrical properties of polymers is an inherently interdisciplinary topic, being closely associated on the one hand with mechanical properties of polymers (polarization and relaxation), and on the other hand with semiconductive properties (conduction and breakdown). The relevant aspects of these contingent subjects are unified and analyzed in this volume, and the available basic knowledge of structure to properties is correlated. The book also discusses the emerging field of molecular electronics.Ku, Chen C. is the author of 'Electrical Properties of Polymers : Chemical Principles', published 1988 under ISBN 9780195207415 and ISBN 0195207416.
