{"product_id":"handbook-of-thiophene-based-materials-isbn-9780470057322","title":"Handbook of Thiophene-Based Materials","description":"This essential resource consists of a series of critical reviews written by leading scientists, summarising the progress in the field of conjugated thiophene materials. It is an application-oriented book, giving a chemists’ point of view on the state-of-art and perspectives of the field. While presenting a comprehensive coverage of thiophene-based materials and related applications, the aim is to show how the rational molecular design of materials can bring a new breadth to known device applications or even aid the development of novel application concepts. The main topics covered include synthetic methodologies to thiophene-based materials (including the chemistry of thiophene, preparation of oligomers and polymerisation approaches) and the structure and physical properties of oligo- and polythiophenes (discussion of structural effects on electronic and optical properties). Part of the book is devoted to the optical and semiconducting properties of conjugated thiophene materials for electronics and photonics, and the role of thiophene-based materials in nanotechnology.  \u003cb\u003eForeword by Professor Fred Wudl\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume One: Synthesis and Theory\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Functional oligothiophene-based materials: nanoarchitectures and applications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmaresh Mishra, Chang-Qi Ma, José L.

Perepichkais an assistant professor in the department of chemistry at McGill University in Montreal (Canada). He was educated at Donetsk State University (Ukraine) and completed his PhD in organic chemistry at the Ukraine National Academy of Science in the Ukraine in 1999. He spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher with Professor Martin Bryce and then from 2001 to 2003 he worked in the lab of Professor Fred Wudl at UCLA, working on a number of projects including the synthesis of conjugated polymers and the functionalisation of carbon nanotubes. His main research interests are materials chemistry, organic synthesis, molecular electronics, surface and nanoscience.   Electronic materials based on conjugated oligomers and polymers have been a vibrant area of interdisciplinary research between chemists, physicists, and materials scientists for over two decades. Oligo- and polythiophenes in particular represent an attractive of conjugated materials for several reasons including easy electropolymerization of thiophenes to produce stable, electrically conductive polymeric films. Electroactive and photoactive thiophene-based molecules, oligomers, and polymers are important for advanced technological applications, including display technologies, field-effect transistors, solar cells, sensors, nonlinear optics, molecular wires, and diodes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with color throughout, these volumes written by leading scientists summarize the progress in the field of conjugated thiophene materials. They are application-oriented books, giving a chemists’ point of view on the state-of-art and perspectives of the field. While presenting comprehensive coverage of thiophene-based materials and related applications, the aim is to show how the rational molecular design of materials can bring a new breadth to known device applications or even aid the development of novel application concepts.
