Polymer Electronics: 22 (Oxford Master Series in Physics) - Tapa dura

The field of polymer electronics ranges from chemical synthesis and polymer physics to optoelectronic processes in devices composed of macromolecules. Final year undergraduate and first year graduate students will find `Polymer Electronics' a useful introduction to this diverse subject. (William Barford, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford)

...this text is a welcome addition that provides a concise introduction to this dynamic field of science. (Peter J. Skabara, Neil J. Findlay, Angewandte Chemie (International Edition))

Polymer Electronics provides an excellent introduction and overview of all of the key aspects of this new and important area of electronics. It is pitched at a level which provides sufficient detail for those who are likely to find themselves working on the subject, but it is also at a level where those with a more general interest will also find the book not overly complex and off-putting (Martin Goosey, Circuit World,)

Polymer electronics is the science behind many important new developments in technology, such as the flexible electronic display (e-ink) and many new developments in transistor technology. Solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and transistors are all areas where plastic electronics is likely to, or is already having, a serious impact on our daily lives. With polymer transistors and light-emitting diodes now being commercialised, there is a clear need for a pedagogic text that discusses the subject in a clear and concise fashion suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students. The content builds on what has been learnt in an elementary (core) course in solid state physics and electronic behaviour, but care has been taken to ensure that important aspects such as the synthesis of these polymers are not overlooked. The chemistry is treated in a manner appropriate to students of physics. Polymer Electronics presents a thorough discussion of the physics and chemistry behind this new and important area of science, appealing to all physical scientists with an interest in the field.
