Technical processes based on the interaction of light with polymers are becoming increasingly important for various applications, and for the invention of new materials, such as nonlinear optical materials, optical waveguides, and photoresists in the production of computer chips. Furthermore, certain polymeric materials can be employed for the generation of light. This first book to focus on the important and topical effect of light on polymeric materials reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, building a bridge between polymer chemistry and physics, photochemistry and photophysics, and materials science. Since it is written by a single, experienced author, a consistent approach is maintained throughout. The first three sections are devoted to light-induced physical and chemical processes and light-induced synthesis of polymers, while the final section treats such miscellaneous technical developments as polymers in optical memories, photosensors and Photocatalysis. Advanced reading for polymer, physical and organic chemists, manufacturers of optoelectronic devices, chemical engineers, and materials scientists., This first book to focus on the important and topical effect of light on polymeric materials reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the topic, building a bridge between polymer chemistry and physics, photochemistry and photophysics, and materials science.
