Light Emitting Polymers

by John Sheats

The study of electro-optic polymers, and in particular light emitting polymers, is an extremely fast-moving field. Light Emitting Polymers, written by the research team that first discovered them, provides the novice and the specialist with a single reference source on the subject. As well as discussing the new developments in the field, this book details the diverse commercial applications of this technology, providing a much-needed guide to professionals in the polymer, optics, and microelectronics industries. * Dr Burn was a member of the research team that first discovered electro-optic (or light emitting) polymers in 1990. * This is a rapidly growing field and the commercial applications of the technology are only now beginning to emerge. * Highly illustrated to make it accessible to chemists and engineers with no prior knowledge of electro-optic polymers.
