Electronic Materials: The Oligomer Approach

Electronic Materials: The Oligomer Approach Edited by K. Müllen and G. Wegner Electroactive oligomers form an important class of advanced materials for the development of new devices such as thin-film, flexible batteries, semiconductors, large-area optical displays and sensors. In addition, the study of oligomeric model compounds is an essential prerequisite for understanding and developing organic materials for electronics and opto-electronics applications. Written and edited by leading scientists in the field, this applications-oriented handbook represents the first comprehensive, systematic study of electroactive oligomeric materials. Special emphasis is placed on a critical review of the literature; relevant materials and technical data are collected in tables throughout. Includes
materials synthesis
structure — property relationship as a function of chain-length
applications in optics and electronics
oligomers as models for polymers
the role of oligomers in tomorrow’s technology
Electronic Materials — The Oligomer Approach offers a stimulating combination of basic concepts and practical applications. It is sure to become a standard reference source that no-one working in the field can do without.
