This book gives an overview of recent integrated and inter-disciplinary approaches between
chemical experiment and theory in a variety of fields from polymer science to materials
chemistry and ranging from the design of tailored properties to catalysis and reactivity
building on the well-established success of Density Functional Theory as the foremost quantum
chemical method to provide qualitative and quantitative interpretation of results from the
chemical laboratory. The combination of several characterization techniques with an
understanding at the molecular level of chemical and physical phenomena are the main focal
point of the subject matter.
