Description for Polymeric Sensors and Actuators (Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering)
Hardcover. This book covers in-depth the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators from the vantage point of organic chemistry. Since many chemists may not be familiar with the physics and operational specifics of sensors, the book has a general chapter dealing with the overall physics and basic principles of sensors. Series: Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering. Num Pages: 536 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TGM; TJF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 159 x 31. Weight in Grams: 858.
The book exhaustively covers the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators from the perspective of organic chemistry.
The field of polymeric sensors and actuators is developing very rapidly as newly derived polymer materials are suitable for sensor technology. This book uniquely and comprehensively covers the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators. The author has researched both scientific papers and patents to include all the recent discoveries and applications. Since many chemists may not be very familiar with the physical background as well as how sensors operate, Polymeric Sensors and Actuators includes a general chapter ... Read more
