Description
About the Author
After postdoctoral positions at CEA Saclay, and the universities of Freiburg and Bayreuth, Mark Geoghegan was appointed Lecturer in Physics at Sheffield University in 2000, quickly becoming Senior Lecturer and subsequently Professor there. He is the Director of Nanofolio, a Masters education portfolio, in conjunction with the University of Leeds. His research covers polymers at surfaces, semiconducting polymers, biopolymers, and polymer nanotechnology. Highlights include the development of a fully reversible switchable adhesive and the demonstration of directed single molecule motion. Georges Hadziioannou has been Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bordeaux 1 since 2009. He was Professor at the University Louis-Pasteur (ULP) Strasbourg (France), Director of the European Engineering School of Chemistry, Polymers and Materials (ECPM) of ULP, and Founder and Director of the 'Laboratoire d'Ingenierie des Polymeres pour les Hautes Technologies' until January 2009. His research area covers semi-conducting polymers, nanostructured polymer materials, polymer materials for the storage and transfer of information, plastic electronics - molecular electronics and systems thereof. In 2007, he received the Sue Award from the French Chemistry Association (SFC) and in 2008, he was appointed Senior Member of the 'Institut Universitaire de France' and to the chair of 'Physical chemistry of Polymers'.
Reviews
The field of polymer electronics ranges from chemical synthesis and polymer physics to optoelectronic processes in devices composed of macromolecules. Final year undergraduate and first year graduate students will find `Polymer Electronics' a useful introduction to this diverse subject. * William Barford, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford *
...this text is a welcome addition that provides a concise introduction to this dynamic field of science. * Peter J. Skabara, Neil J. Findlay, Angewandte Chemie (International Edition) *
Polymer Electronics provides an excellent introduction and overview of all of the key aspects of this new and important area of electronics. It is pitched at a level which provides sufficient detail for those who are likely to find themselves working on the subject, but it is also at a level where those with a more general interest will also find the book not overly complex and off-putting * Martin Goosey, Circuit World, *
