Short description
Covering materials, mechanisms, processes, properties, developments, and applications of photochemistry and photophysics in polymers, Handbook of Photochemistry and Photophysics of Polymeric Materials provides the fundamentals and applications of polymer photochemistry and photophysics in one accessible source. For each category, the fundamentals of the materials are presented alongside important developments and particular applications in the field. This book is a useful and practical resource for all researchers and graduate students working on polymeric materials either prepared by or involved in photochemistry and photophysics.
