Research and Markets has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Volume 10, Photophysics and Photochemistry of Metal-Containing Polymers" to their offering. (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a8eddc/macromolecules_con)
Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as large molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. This volume describes what is possible with metal-containing polymers where the metal is an essential ingredient in obtaining desired optical and electronic properties. Covering applications in nonlinear optical materials, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, field-effect transistors, chemosensing devices, and biosensing devices, this indispensible guide focuses on the photochemistry and photophysics of metal-containing polymers, with chapters by leading contributors to the core advances in this field.
Key Topics Covered:
- Preface.
- Series Preface.
- Introduction to Photophysics and Photochemistry (Shawkat M. Aly, Charles E. Carraher Jr., and Pierre D. Harvey).
