Editorial Reviews

The book is timely and would help researchers and students equally to learn various aspects of these technologically important materials.

Bulletin of Electrochemistry

A reference that introduces readers to the remarkable changes that have occurred in the materials science of polar polymers due to advances in both novel materials and industrial applications. It consolidates the current knowledge on ferroelectric polymers, collating the chemistry, physics, and technology in expert reviews of the extensive technical literature of the last few decades. The chapters are divided according to the type of polar polymeric materials discussed, with each chapter covering chemical aspects, spectroscopic studies, and electrical properties of individual ferroelectric polymers. The volume is divided into two parts. Part I covers the ferroelectric polymers, while Part II discusses their applications in industry. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
