The book is structured to take you from basic chemical principles to high-tech industrial uses. 1. Fundamentals and Theory
Detailed guides on how to create these polymers through chemical oxidation or electrochemical polymerization.
Explains the "doping" process—how adding or removing electrons from the polymer chain (like polyaniline or polypyrrole) allows charge to move. Conducting Polymers, Fundamentals and Applicati...
Techniques used to measure their properties, such as UV-Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 2. Properties
Chemical and biological sensors that detect gases or glucose levels. The book is structured to take you from
The second half of the book focuses on how these "synthetic metals" are used in the real world:
Radar-absorbing coatings (stealth technology), anti-corrosion paints, and artificial muscles (actuators). 4. Processing and Commercialization Properties Chemical and biological sensors that detect gases
Plastic solar cells, Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), and flexible circuits.
