Advanced Materials Series
The Advanced Materials Series provides recent advancements of the fascinating
field of advanced materials science and technology, particularly in the area of
structure, synthesis and processing, characterization, advanced-state properties,
and applications. The volumes will cover theoretical and experimental
approaches of molecular device materials, biomimetic materials, h ybrid-type
composite materials, functionalized polymers, supramolecular systems,
information- and energy-transfer materials, biobased and biodegradable or
environmental friendly materials. Each volume will be devoted to one broad
subject and the multidisciplinary aspects will be drawn out in full.
