Book description
The pivotal text that bridges the gap between fundamentals and
applications of soft matter in organic electronics
Covering an expanding and highly coveted subject area, Supramolecular
Soft Matter enlists the services of leading researchers to help
readers understand and manipulate the electronic properties of
supramolecular soft materials for use in organic opto-electronic
devices, such as photovoltaics and field effect transistors, some of
the most desired materials for energy conservation. Rather than
offering a compilation of current trends in supramolecular soft
matter, this book bridges the gap between fundamentals and
applications of soft matter in organic electronics in an effort to
open new directions in research for applying supramolecular assembly
into organic materials while also focusing on the morphological
functions originating from the materials' self-assembled
architectures. This unique approach distinguishes Supramolecular Soft
Matter as a valuable resource for learning to identify concepts that
hold promise for the successful development of organic/polymeric
electronics for use in real-world applications. Supramolecular Soft Matter:
-
Combines important topics to help supramolecular chemists and
organic electronics researchers work together
-
Covers an interdisciplinary field of prime importance to
government-supported R&D research
-
Discusses the concepts and perspectives in a dynamic field to
aid in the successful development of organic electronics
-
Includes applications for energy conservation like
photovoltaics and field effect transistors
Teeming with applicable information on both molecular design and
synthesis, as well as the development of smart molecular assemblies
for organic electronic systems, Supramolecular Soft Matter provides
more practical in-depth coverage of this rapidly evolving technology
than any other book in its field.
