| Summary |
Functional organic materials are increasingly important in cutting-edge applications such as energy production, storage and conversion, biomedicine and sustainable development. Top-notch specialists have created a unique and timely overview for undergraduate (final year) and graduate students with a background in chemistry but should also be useful for physicists and engineers. |
