Overview

This book will serve as a much needed course book and compact reference in nanostructured materials for academic and industrial readers. Nanostructured Materials presents exciting opportunities for manipulating structure and properties on the nanometer scale. Written by leading chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and bioengineers, Nanostructured Materials presents the latest advances in this innovative field. This book describes a bottom-up approach to designing nanostructured systems for a variety of chemical, physical, and biological applications. Each chapter will comprehensively review the state of the art for various aspects of nanostructured materials and also present perspectives for future advances in a major growth area for research sponsored by government and industry.
