This book was released on 1993-05-31 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electroactive polymers have been the object of increasing academic and industrial interest and in the past ten to fifteen years substantial progress has been achieved in the development and the characterization of this important new class of conducting materials. These materials are usually classified in two large groups, according to the mode of their electric transport. One group includes polymers having transport almost exclusively of the ionic type and they are often called 'polymer electrolytes' or, in a broader way, 'polymer ionics'. The other group includes polymeric materials where the transport mechanism is mainly electronic in nature and which are commonly termed 'conducting polymers'. Ionically conducting polymers or polymer ionics may be typically described as polar macromolecular solids in which one or more of a wide range of salts has been dissolved. The most classic example is the combina tion of poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and lithium salts, LiX. These PEO-LiX polymer ionics were first described and proposed for applications just over ten years ago. The practical relevance of these new materials was im mediately recognized and in the course of a few years the field expanded tremendously with the involvement of many academic and industrial lab oratories. Following this diversified research activity, the ionic transport mechanism in polymer ionics was soon established and this has led to the development of new host polymers of various types, new salts and advanced polymer architectures which have enabled room temperature conductivity to be raised by several orders of magnitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the authors' preface: "As we enter the era of intelligent materials and embark upon a new approach to material design, synthesis, and system integration, certain groups of materials will emerge as champions." Standing high among these champions are conductive electroactive polymers (CEPs), which appear destined to play a central role in the development of intelligent materials. Although recent advances have enabled the design and assembly of polymers from the molecular level, creating sophisticated structures requires a solid understanding of the structure-property relationships. Building on the standard-setting first edition, Conductive Electroactive Polymers: Intelligent Materials Systems, Second Edition provides a thorough, up-to-date introduction to conductive electroactive polymers. The authors discuss the parameters that affect the formation of important CEPs, including polypyrroles, polyanilines, and polythiophenes. They show how to use these parameters to manipulate the properties of the polymers, and they clarify the chemical and energy parameters that determine the structure and its properties. New in this edition are more details on polythiphene and polyaniline systems, an update on progress in polypyrroles, and reports on recent advances in CEP processing techniques and device fabrication. As the use of intelligent materials grows, it becomes increasingly important for scientists and engineers in fields ranging from materials science to electronics and biomedicine to understand the properties and potential of CEPs. This book is an outstanding introduction to conducting polymers and a valuable reference that brings you quickly up to date on recent developments.
