Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers with Special Properties

' The book is not only a good introduction for newcomers, but also a useful source for professionals. Many references will help the reader to go to more details. Of course it is a Proceedings with all the well known disadvantages, but nevertheless I can recommend it without any restriction. ' Optik, 95 No. 3, 1993
