FROM THE PUBLISHER
Handbook of Polyelectrolytes and Their Applications is the first major reference
source to provide complete coverage of polyelectrolytes, which is a rapidly
growing multidisciplinary field of research. To date there is no single
reference source in the area of polyelectrolytes, this handbook aims to fill
this existing gap. This three-volume set, is the first comprehensive handbook
ever published bringing under a single cover all aspects of polyelectrolytes,
their chemical synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, fabrication,
processing into multilayers, self-assemblies, thin films and nanostructures,
physical properties, solution behavior, theoretical models and industrial
applications of polyelectrolytes currently studied in academic and industrial
research. This handbook contains more than 6,000 bibliographic citations
