Semiconducting Polymer Composites Principles, Morphologies, Properties And Applications

Polymer composites made functional and customizable: new materials for real-life applications

The academic and industrial interest in semiconducting polymer composites is rising, owing to the unique combination of easy and low-cost processability and versatility of these materials

This comprehensive book provides broad coverage addressing the principles of semiconducting polymer blends such as morphology, energetics and processing as well as the wide range of applications in optics, electronics and optoelectronics.

Fostering interdisciplinary research, the book combines the fields of polymer composites and functional polymers, allowing for cross-fertilization between these two scientific communities.

Xiaoniu Yang is the Head of the Center for Polymer Composite Engineering at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry (CIAC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Having obtained his academic degrees from CIAC, he spent a few years in Germany and the Netherlands before taking up his present appointment at CIAC. Professor Yang has authored more than sixty scientific publications, filed sixteen patents and received the National Science Foundation Award for Distinguished Young Scholars of China in 2009. He is also a member of the commission for Applied Chemistry of the Chinese Chemical Society.
