Radiation Curing in Polymer Science and Technology

The aim of this four volume, multi-author reference work is to provide a comprehensive guide to the radiation curing field. During the last ten years radiation curing has developed into an area of increasing scientific and technological importance. These books outline the photochemical processes involved, evaluate the emerging applications and possibilities for further applications as well as providing an up-do-date overview of current research and industrial development. Volume Four discusses the applications of radiation curing and provides a synopsis of the latest research in several areas: coatings; graphic arts; microelectronics; optical fibres; adhesives; 3D machining; membranes; and holographic optical elements. It also considers the worldwide trends in the market.Both academic researchers, graduate students and specialists in industrial research and development laboratories should find these volumes of value in the way that they present recent developments in the fields of polymer photochemistry, chemistry of photosensitive materials, the design of highly efficient photoresponsive systems, UV- and EB-curing, experimental methods of testing, reprography, microelectronics and halography.
