Synopsis

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials, particularly inorganic nanomaterials. It provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and processing techniques with regard to synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials. Both chemical processing and lithographic techniques are presented in a systematic and coherent manner for the synthesis and fabrication of 0-D, 1-D, and 2-D nanostructures, as well as special nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous oxides. The book will serve as a general introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology for teaching and self-study purposes.

About this title

Review

This book does an excellent job of assembling a wide variety of synthetic techniques and describing how they can be applied to a range of materials for design on the nanoscale. The references range from the classic to the very recent, giving a broad perspective of the area, and an index provides cross-referencing. --Journal of the American Chemical Society

This book can be recommended to both students and researchers. It gives the basic information on fabrication and properties of nanostructures in a coherent way ... The relatively large number of figures makes the understanding of the subject easier. The reader has to appreciate also extended list of references for each chapter. --Acta Physica Slovaca

This interesting book, useful as general introduction to people just entering the field of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, may be of interest to the experts seeking for information in other subfields, such as material and biomedical engineers, clinical medical doctors, molecular cell biologists, hystologists, as well as experts of bioethics, regulatory affairs, business administration and commercialization, but also students of the chemical and medical communities having an interest in nanoscience. --Journal of Applied Cosmetology
