Conducting Polymers and Polymer Electrolytes: From Biology to Photovoltaics (ACS Symposium Series)

The study of conductive polymers is a rapidly growing area in polymer chemistry. Since conductive polymers carry a charge, they are used in a wide variety of applications. This book examines a subset within the area of conductive polymers: the electrochemistry that occurs at the interface between conductive polymers and solutions. Topics include synthesis and characterization as well as applications in artificial muscles, electrocatalysis, sensor design, and corrosion prevention.
