Types, Synthesis, Sensing, Properties and Horizons


Abstract in English

The evolution of Polymers which are produced by the binding of many structural units, i.e. monomers in series, has led to one of the most important revolution in the twentieth century. Besides their resistive and plastic properties which match those of metals, they are better than those in many characteristics as they are lighter, cheaper and above all easier to manufacture. Polymers are in every day life usage, starting from consumptional commedities (containors) through the most developed applications such as in space sectors and space navigation, and as molecular lock –and- key elements in medicine and chemical reaction activation and filtering, in addition to their use in intercalation chemistry and in biological sensors, biocompatibility and organic transistors among others.
