The first part of the book deals with the interaction of polymers with non-ionizing radiation in the frequency-range from sub-terahertz over infrared radiation to visible and ultraviolet light, while the second part covers the interaction with ionizing radiation from the extreme ultraviolet to X-ray photons. Consequently, the book provides a systematic overview of how both the non-ionizing and the ionizing radiation can be used for different polymerization approaches, spectroscopy methods and lithography techniques. The covered applications include curing of coatings and adhesives, xerography, light-emitting diodes, lasers, wave guides, high-capacity data storage as well as sensors and catalysts.

Wolfram Schnabel, born in Freiburg, Silesia, Germany, in 1931, is Professor Emeritus at the Technical University of Berlin. He obtained his PhD in Chemistry from Cologne University, Germany, and did post-doctoral research at Northwestern University, Evanston, USA. Subsequently he worked on his habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin and, in parallel, was researcher at the Hahn-Meitner-Institute Berlin, now merged in the Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy. Wolfram Schnabel was appointed Professor at the Technical University of Berlin in 1974 and had this position until his retirement. He published well over 300 journal articles in the fields of macromolecular chemistry, photochemistry and radiation chemistry and is the author of three books.
