Abstract :
Polymers, by virtue of their ease of processing/fabrication, low-cost, light-weight, structural flexibility and durability, make polymer devices competitive and they are gradually replacing semiconductors and metals in many applications. Of added advantage is the potential to improve their properties as advanced composites/hybrids. In this paper, we focus on polymer applications in electronics and communications
