Molecular Design and Applications of Photofunctional Polymers and Materials

Editors: Wai-Yeung Wong and Alaa S Abd-El-Aziz
Functional organic and organometallic polymers and
materialshave gained much attention as versatile materials for energy
interconversions and optoelectronic/photonic applications, including
electrical energy generation in photovoltaic cells and light generation
in organic light-emitting diodes, as they offer a low cost, light
weight and simple option for device fabrication.
Molecular Design and Applications of Photofunctional Polymers and
Materials, presents a critical perspective of the current field, with
emphasis on fundamental concepts and current applications in
optoelectronics, electronics and nanotechnology.
The book also covers photochemically degradable polymers,
electrochromic and photochromic materials, biosensing and bioimaging
materials, and low- and high-refractive index materials. With
contributions from leading experts in the field, this timely book will
provide a valuable contribution to the community enabling new synthetic
methods to be developed to produce new materials with specific
functional roles.
