Opis

"While there is information available in handbooks on polythiophene chemistry and physics, until now there has been no book focusing exclusively on the most forwardly developed electrically conductive polymer, Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), otherwise known as PEDOT. This resource provides the full chemical, physical, and technical information about this important conducting polymer. Discussing basic knowledge and exploring technical applications, the book is based on information generated by universities and academic research, as well as by industrial scientists, providing a full picture of the experimental and the practical aspects"--Provided by publisher.
