Product Description

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.

Review
"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 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

Customer Reviews

Excellent overview on the chemistry & fab. of nanostructures
This book is intended to give an overview to those entering the field on how to fabricate nanostructures and their underlying chemistry. The main focus is on the fundamentals such as synthes and fabrication and covers as large range of toptics: nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, thin films, and carbon nanotubes as well as a diverse range of patterning techniques (AFM, self-assembly through conventional lithographic techniques). The last chapter of about 20 pages on applications is a bit short and only gives a general feel. The book should be suitable to both advanced undergrads or grad. students in chemistry, material science, physics, and EE. I myself found it quite accessible for self-study. I especially, liked the first ~50 pags explaining the fundamental such as surface chemistry and excellent explanation of surface tension.

great resource
'Nanostructures and Nanomaterials' is a concise, informative introduction to the topic. Very useful.

Shipping was quick, only a few days.
