Polymers in Electronics: Optoelectronic Properties, Design, Fabrication, and Applications brings together the fundamentals and latest advances in polymeric materials for electronic device applications, supporting researchers, scientists and advanced students, and approaching the topic from a range of disciplines. The book begins by introducing polymeric materials, their dielectric, optical, and thermal properties, and the essential principles and techniques for polymers as applied to electronics. This is followed by detailed coverage of the key steps in the preparation of polymeric materials for opto-electronic devices, including fabrication methods, materials design, rheology, encapsulation, and conductive polymer mechanisms. The final part of the book focuses on the latest developments in advanced devices, covering the areas of photovoltaics, transistors, light-emitting diodes, and stretchable electronics. In addition, it explains mechanisms, design, fabrication techniques, and end applications. This is a highly valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, engineers and R&D professionals from a range of disciplines.

Waterborne diseases are a major public problem in developing countries.The vast majority of rural areas get water from unprotected sources such as ponds, streams and wells. Water borne diseases are mostly prevalent in those areas that have poor sanitation and drinking water network. The situation in rural areas is so poor with respect to sanitation that even hospitals, whether governmental or private, participate in this process of letting the sewage out in the open without prior treatment.
