Written by an outstanding team of experts in the interdisciplinary areas of research, this book is based on a new classification of the different types of fullerene polymers according to their chemical structures. It covers all aspects, from different classes, to their synthesis and applications in material science.Of great interest to polymer and synthetic chemists, but also for material scientists and industrial chemists.
