Applications of Electroactive Polymers

This book represents a very comprehensive discussion of certain aspects of electroactive polymers and concentrates primarily on the way in which these materials may be used for specific applications...This book will find itself on the shelf of people interested in these areas of application. It is well written and is good value for money - Reactive Polymers; The style of presentation is clear and factual throughout. The level of presentation makes the book particularly useful for newcomers in the field, at the same time it provides a valuable opportunity for scientists, engineers and general readers who are interested in the latest applications of electroactive polymers, to become acquainted with critical views and the visions of leading experts in a rapidly expanding field...the book is well written and quite enjoyable to read...holds the promise of being a good starting point to chemists who wish to inititate research in a new fascinating area, and is recommended as a very useful and timely review volume - Journal of Materials Chemistry; This interesting volume is focused mainly on the applications (actual and potential) of these two classes of materials, but includes introductory chapters which offer some insight into their nature and properties...a timely book and Bruno Scrosati deserves congratulations for organising such authoritative chapters by key figures in the field...a most useful and up-to-date text - Polymer International
