Overview
Chromogenic Phenomena in Polymers: Tunable Optical Properties describes diverse physicochemical methods of tuning the optical properties of polymeric materials in real time. This book also summarizes recent advances in the design, properties and applications of electrochromic, photochromic, electroluminescent, selective reflective, and photonic band-gap polymers.
Synopsis
Jenekhe (chemical engineering, University of Washington) and Kiserow (polymer chemistry, US Army Research Office) collect work by researchers including chemists, physicists, engineers, and materials scientists, based on invited presentations from a recent symposium. Major topics include electrochromic polymers and devices for the visible and IR spectra, electroluminescent polymers and tunable emission, photochromic and stimuli-responsive polymers, optically switchable materials and devices, photonic band-gap materials, and bioinspired and biomimetic chromogenic materials. The book is distributed in the US by Oxford University Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
