This book documents the underlying physics of polymer fibers,
particularly aspects of light interaction, and details the
practical considerations for a broad range of characterization
techniques used to investigate new phenomena. The book presents
basic fabrication techniques and protocols that will likely remain
useful as new advances address specific processing challenges. The
author presents a fresh approach to standard derivations, using
numerous figures and diagrams to break down complex concepts and
illustrate theoretical calculations. The final chapters draw
attention to the latest directions in research and novel
applications, including photomechanical actuation, electro-optic
fibers, and smart materials.
