Nanostructures : Synthesis, Functional Properties and Applications. This item is unavailable.Nanostructures : Synthesis, Functional Properties and Applications

The essence of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is the ability to fabricate and engineer materials, structures and systems where the manipulation of the properties and functionalities is a result of the control of the material's building blocks whose dimension is in the nanometer regime. This book presents an in-depth description of nanostructures and the many ways that they can be advantageously engineered by the controlled assembly of suitable nano-objects as building blocks. Nanotechnology is here considered as an enabling technology by which existing materials, virtually all man-made, can acquire novel properties and functionalities, making them suitable for novel applications varying from structural and functional to advanced biomedical in-vivo and in-vitro uses.
