Klappentext Wolfgang Knoll is a former Directory of Polymer research at the Max Planck Institute. He is extremely well know for his research in this area. Zouheir Sekkat was a Postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck working under Professor Knoll. With Knoll's involvement, we can be confident that the best people in this field will be contributing to the reference. Zusammenfassung Photoreactive organic thin films are thin layers of insulating! conducting or semiconductor organic materials that are sensitive to ultraviolet or visible light. This book provides a comprehensive reference to these materials. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part A - Photoisomerization and Photo-Orientation of Azobenzenes 1. Photoisomerization of Benzenes 2.
