New Book on Conjugated Polymer Synthesis

Research and Markets has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Conjugated Polymer Synthesis: Methods and Reactions" to their offering.

Edited and authored by top international experts, this first book on conjugated polymers with a focus on synthesis provides a detailed overview of all modern synthetic methods for these highly interesting compounds. As such, it describes every important compound class, including polysilanes, organoboron compounds, and ferrocene-containing conjugated polymers.

An indispensable source for every synthetic polymer chemist.
