In a recent issue, Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics published a special section on conducting polymeric materials guest-edited by Søren Hvilsted.
“Already in 2000 Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry “for the discovery and development of conductive polymers”. Since then the conducting polymer field has expanded and the concepts presently find applications in various areas and devices, where the conducting material properties are imperative parts of the device.” writes Søren in his Editorial. “This collection of timely contributions covers broadly from more fundamental elaborations over genuine research to applications.”
Contributions to the conducting polymeric materials special section include:
