Handbook of Radical Polymerization

American Chemical Society. Division of Polymer Chemistry

Presents new developments in controlled/living radical polymerization in three areas: atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP), and reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT). Also includes synthesis and characterization of many new materials.

Advances in Controlled/living Radical Polymerization

This book examines recent progress in controlled/living radical polymerization. The volume focuses on three synthetic methods: atom transfer radical polymerization, nitroxide mediated polymerization and degenerative transfer via addition fragmentation. In addition, the volume covers the preparation and characterization of many never before seen materials using ATRP, NMP and RAFT.

Provides first-hand insights into advanced fabrication techniques for solution processable organic electronics materials and devices The field of printable organic electronics has emerged as a technology which plays a major role in materials science research and development. Printable organic electronics soon compete with, and for specific applications can even outpace, conventional semiconductor devices in terms of performance, cost, and versatility. Printing techniques allow for large-scale fabrication of organic electronic components and functional devices for use as wearable electronics, health-care sensors, Internet of Things, monitoring of environment pollution and many others, yet-to-be-conceived applications. The first part of Solution-Processable Components for Organic Electronic Devices covers the synthesis of: soluble conjugated polymers; solution-processable nanoparticles of inorganic semiconductors; high-k nanoparticles by means of controlled radical polymerization; advanced blending techniques yielding novel materials with extraordinary properties. The book also discusses photogeneration of charge carriers in nanostructured bulk heterojunctions and charge carrier transport in multicomponent materials such as composites and nanocomposites as well as photovoltaic devices modelling. The second part of the book is devoted to organic electronic devices, such as field effect transistors, light emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photodiodes and electronic memory devices which can be produced by solution-based methods, including printing and roll-to-roll manufacturing. The book provides in-depth knowledge for experienced researchers and for those entering the field. It comprises 12 chapters focused on: ? novel organic electronics components synthesis and solution-based processing techniques ? advanced analysis of mechanisms governing charge carrier generation and transport in organic semiconductors and devices ? fabrication techniques and characterization methods of organic electronic devices Providing coverage of the state of the art of organic electronics, Solution-Processable Components for Organic Electronic Devices is an excellent book for materials scientists, applied physicists, engineering scientists, and those working in the electronics industry.

Solution-Processable Components for Organic Electronic Devices

(Co)polymers prepared via free radical mechanism, together withpolyolefins, comprise the largest portion of the commodity plasticsindustry and are also used for preparation of many specialtymaterials. Handbook of Radical Polymerization provides a concisesource of information on mechanisms, synthetic techniques, andcharacterization methods and addresses future trends for polymersmade by free radical intermediates. A one-stop, at-your-fingertips source of information forstudents, researchers, technologists, and industrial managers, theHandbook functions as a single reference of the conventional andcontrolled/living radical polymerization methods. Two experteditors collect and present historical background of the technique,basic information regarding various free radical polymerizationsystems, and state-of-the-art experimental techniques andindustrial applications. Chapters written by internationallyacclaimed experts in their respective fields include: Theory of Radical Reactions The Kinetics of Free Radical Polymerization Industrial Applications and Processes Nitroxide Mediated Living Radical Polymerization Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Control of Free Radical Polymerization by Chain TransferMethods Macromolecular Engineering by Controlled RadicalPolymerization Guaranteed to have a long shelf life, the Handbook of RadicalPolymerization promises to be an indispensable resource forchemists, chemical engineers, material scientists, and graduatestudents in the field, as well as a valuable addition toindustrial, academic, and government libraries.
