Reihe: Smart 3D/4D Printing

Conducting polymers are smart materials that possess unique and tuneable electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties. 3D printing technology is rapidly advancing, and using conducting polymers for this process can lead to many emerging applications as it can print complex structures cost effectively, though many challenges need to be overcome before this technology can be used on a large scale. 3D Printed Conducting Polymers highlights the state of the art of these materials, the basics of additive printing, and the role of conducting polymers in additive manufacturing. It also discusses applications in energy, sensors, and biomedical areas.

- Covers fundamentals, synthesis, and various applications of conducting polymers.

- Discusses basics of energy devices, sensors, and materials technology for emerging applications.

- Explores new approaches for the synthesis of conducting polymers and composites for 3D print technology.

- Details future applications and challenges.

Offering direction to researchers and advanced students to better understand the chemistry and electrochemical properties of conducting polymers and technologies for 3D printing, this book advances the science and technology of this emerging field for readers in materials and chemical engineering, biotechnology, energy, and related disciplines.
