SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Leading international experts survey the recent significant theoretical and experimental developments in the synthesis, physico-chemical study and potential applications of electroresponsive and photooptical active polymers. Attention is focused on materials for information technique, optical data storage, optoelectronics and holography. Written by authors from the academic and industry, the book is intended for polymer scientists, engineers and technologists in polymer science. Interdisciplinary in nature it will be also of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in polymer science, photochemistry, materials science, optics and liquid crystals.
