Now split into two volumes, the Handbook of Conducting Polymers continues to provide the expertise of world-renowned contributors while maintaining the clear format of previous editions as it incorporates the latest developments in both the fundamental science and practical applications of polymers. It details the synthesis and properties of the full family of conducting polymers and demonstrates how to control charge transport, solid-state structures, and optoelectronic and redox properties. The book also examines conducting and semiconducting polymers in light-emitting displays, solar cells, field effect transistors, electrochromic panels, charge storage devices, biosensors, and actuators.

The first book of the third edition of the best-selling Handbook of Conducting Polymers focuses on the concepts and basic physical aspects needed to understand the behavior and performance of conjugated polymers. Conjugated Polymers: Theory, Synthesis, Properties, and Characterization initially examines the theories behind p-conjugated materials and electron-lattice dynamics in organic systems. Subsequent chapters detail synthesis methods and electrical and physical properties of the full family of conducting polymers, including polyacetylenes, polyanilines, poly(arylene vinylenes), poly(arylene ethynylenes), and polyheterocycles. This third edition retains the expertise of the editors and contributors while providing superior coverage of recent advances.

The second book of the third edition of the best-selling Handbook of Conducting Polymers concentrates on the numerous processing methods for conducting polymers and their integration into various devices and applications. Conjugated Polymers: Processing and Applications first examines coating, printing, and spinning methods for complex patterned films and fibers. It then shows how conducting and semiconducting polymers are applied in many devices, such as light-emitting displays, solar cells, field effect transistors, electrochromic panels, charge storage devices, biosensors, and actuators. This third edition retains the expertise of the editors and contributors while providing superior coverage of recent advances.
