The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Series provides a comprehensive resource of books covering key topics such as the synthesis, characterisation, performance and properties of nanostructured materials and technologies and their applications.
Katsuhiko Ariga has been working on supramolecular chemistry especially related with self-assembly processes, ultrathin films and molecular recognitions. Accomplishments in his researches contribute significantly developments of biomemetic systems as well as physicochemical understanding on interfacial phenomena. Especially, pioneer researches of layer-layer supramolecular assembly have been highly evaluated, and he is also recognized as an authority of supramolecular recognition at the interfaces.
