Download or read book Solitons & Polarons in Conducting Polymers written by Lu Yu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1988 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyacetylence, (CH)x is the simplest conjugated polymer. Prestine polyacetylence is a good insulator, whereas its highly doped version exhibits metal-like electrical conductivity. This book gives a detailed introduction to this rapidly-developing field is given along with a collection of original papers. The main purpose is to help chemists and physicists grasp the main ideas and most important facts; an expert may also find it useful as a reference volume.
