Such materials are not being classified on the basis of their origin, nature of bonding or processing techniques but are classified on the basis of the functions they can perform. This is a significant departure from the earlier schemes in which materials were described as metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, glass materials etc. Several new processing techniques have also evolved in the recent past. Because of the diversity of materials and their functions it has become extremely difficult to obtain info 410 0$aElsevier insights. 606 $aMolecular electronics$xMaterials 606 $aElectrooptics$xMaterials 606 $aOptoelectronics$xMaterials 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMolecular electronics$xMaterials. 615 0$aElectrooptics$xMaterials. 615 0$aOptoelectronics$xMaterials. 676 $a620.11 701 $aBanerjee$b S$01050690 701 $aTyagi$b A.
