Photochemistry and Polymeric Systems (Special Publications)

Photochemistry and Polymeric Systems has brought together leading international researchers, from industry and academia, to consider the fundamental scientific principles and technological applications of the effects of light on polymers and polymer-based composites. With an unusually broad subject coverage, the book presents papers on such topics as photopolymerization and photocuring; photoablation; photophysical properties of polymers; nonlinear optics and electro-optics; photochromism and photoimaging; and photography. It discusses the latest developments, particularly those of relevance to advanced materials and photography, and gives considerable emphasis to interdisciplinary research. Photochemistry and Polymeric Systems will provide chemists and physicists worldwide with an update on wide ranging aspects of the subject. It is essential reading for all those involved in research and will also be of great interest to teachers and students of relevant disciplines.
