Both an introductory course to broadband dielectric spectroscopy and a monograph describing recent dielectric contributions to current topics, this book is the first to cover the topic and has been hotly awaited by the scientific community.

This book describes the dynamics of low molecular weight and polymeric molecules when they are constrained under conditions of geometrical confinement. It covers geometrical confinement in different dimensionalities:

(i) in nanometer thin layers or self supporting films (1-dimensional confinement)

(ii) in pores or tubes with nanometric diameters (2-dimensional confinement)

(iii) as micelles embedded in matrices (3-dimensional) or as nanodroplets.

The dynamics under such conditions have been a much discussed and central topic in the focus of...

The dielectric properties especially of glassy materials are nowadays explored at widely varying temperatures and pressures without any gap in the spectral range from Hz up to the Infrared, thus covering typically 20 decades or more.
