Informationen zum Autor Dr. Igor F. Perepichka is a senior research associate in the chemistry department of Durham University (UK), working with Professor Martin Bryce on self-organised nanostructures as part of the European Science Foundation programme. He was educated at Donetstsk Polytechnic and completed his PhD in organic chemistry in the Institute of Physical Organic and Coal Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine, where he started his career as an engineer and was later promoted to senior research scientist in 1989. Dr. Perepichka has been a Humboldt Fellow at Wuerzburg University, a visiting scientist at CNRS in Angers and an invited professor at Angers University. Professor Dmitrii F. 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. Klappentext 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.Illustrated 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. Topics covered are:* Synthetic methodologies to thiophene-based materials (including the chemistry of thiophene, oligomers and polymerization approaches).* The structure and physical properties of oligo- and polythiophenes.* Properties of conjugated thiophene materials for electronics and photonics and the role of thiophene-based materials.The Handbook of Thiophene-Based Materials gives researchers interested in the field of organic electronics and photonics a good overview of thiophene chemistry. It will also appeal to scientists at hi-tech companies working in the field of organic electronic and optoelectronic materials. Zusammenfassung Consisting of a series of critical reviews, written by leading researchers in the field of conjugated polymers and polythiophenes, Thiophene-Based Materials for Organic Electronics and Photonics systematically and comprehensively covers all main aspects of recent academic research and technological applications of thiophene-based materials.
