Synopses & Reviews
This book gives a comprehensive account of the production and characterisation of ordered, thin organic films.
Review
'This is a well prepared text, with many excellent and informative diagrams, extensive references and a comprehensive index ... Tredgold writes with clarity and authority, and equally importantly, with enthusiasm. This is an ideal book for research students entering the field, but final year project students and more established researchers will also find much of interest.' M. R. Willis, Chemistry in Britain
Review
'This is a good book, which should find wide readership across this interdisciplinary area of science ... It will be particularly welcomed by graduate students and research workers with an interest in the chemistry and physics of organic thin films.' Advanced Materials
