Self-Doped Conducting Polymers / Edition 1

by Michael S. Freund, Bhavana A. Deore

Overview

Self-Doped Conducting Polymers provides an introduction to conducting polymers in general and self-doped conducting polymers in particular. This is followed by an in depth exploration of the synthesis, properties and utilization of several types of self-doped polymers. Optimization of self-doped polymers is also discussed.
