Description
Book SynopsisThe breadth of scientific and technological interests in the general topic of photochemistry is truly enormous and includes for example,such diverse areas as microelectronics, atmospheric chemistry, organic synthesis, non-conventional photoimaging, photosynthesis, solar energy conversion, polymer technologies, and spectroscopy. Photochemistry reviews photo-induced processes that have relevance to the above wide-ranging academic and commercial disciplines, and interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology. In order to provide easy access to this vast and varied literature, Photochemistry comprises sections sub-divided by chromophore and reaction type, and also a comprehensive section on polymer photochemistry.Throughout, emphasis is placed on useful applications of photochemistry.
