Overview

"This first full-colored introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology addresses in particular the needs of engineers who have to know the special phenomena and potentials, without going into too much scientific detail of the physics and chemistry involved. Based on the author's own successful courses, Nanomaterials: An Introduction to Synthesis, Properties and Applications shows how to produce nanomaterials and use them in engineering applications for novel products. Following an introduction, the text goes on to treat synthesis, characterization techniques, thermal, optical, magnetic and electronic properties, processing and, finally, emerging applications. Engineers looking for a sound introduction to the ""nano world"" will find this especially useful, since the features of nanomaterials are discussed from an application-oriented perspective."

A This first full-colored introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology addresses in particular the needs of engineers who have to know the special phenomena and potentials, without going into too much scientific detail of the physics and chemistry involved. Based on the author's own successful courses, the book shows how to produce nanomaterials and use them in engineering applications for novel products.A (Welding and Cutting , 2009 ) The reader [of this book] profits from the broad scientific teaching experience of the author... This book is highly recommended for everyone who wants to step onto the new and fascinating field of nanomaterials. (International Journal of Materials Research, May 2009) The practical presentation and clarity in writing style makes this book a winner for anyone wanting to quickly learn about the fundamentals and practical side of nanomaterials. (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, March/April 2009) [This book] is an elementary introduction to nanomaterials, covering the wide range from synthesis, properties, characterisation and application of nanomaterials. It is well balanced between basic science, explained in a well understandable and clear language, and application ... This book is highly recommended. (Institut fur Materialforschung III, January 2009) This valuable monograph addresses in particular the researchers who have to understand the special phenomena and potentials, with an average degree of detail. It can also be used as a students course, since the nanomaterials are analyzed from an application-oriented perspective. (Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, November / December 2008)
