A multidisciplinary approach that explores the diverseproperties, functions, and applications of nanomaterials
Drawing together the many scientific and engineering disciplinesunderlying the development of nanomaterials, NanoscaleMultifunctional Materials provides a multidisciplinary review ofthe diverse properties, functions, and applications ofnanomaterials. The book examines both nanoparticles, which havelarger-scale equivalents, and uniquely assembled nanomaterials,which do not have larger-scale equivalents. Readers will gain atremendous appreciation of the versatility of nanomaterials as wellas an understanding of how the same nanomaterial can have severaldistinct applications across a broad range of fields andindustries.
Nanoscale Multifunctional Materials is divided into threesections:
? Section I, Overview, describes the scientific phenomenaunderlying the special properties of nanomaterials, making themdesirable as novel materials and different from conventionalsolids. Next, readers will learn about the effect of nanomaterialson contemporary society as well as future trends in nanomaterialsproduction and use.
? Section II, Processing and Analysis, explores severalexperimental approaches in nanomaterial fabrication andcharacterization as well as in theoretical approaches in modelingand simulation.
? Section III, Applications, offers detailed examples ofnanomaterial applications in alternative energy, thermalmanagement, environmental cleanup, water treatment, andbiomedicine.
Each chapter has been written by one or more leading experts inthe science, engineering, and application of nanomaterials. Withineach chapter, readers will find a thorough review of the currentliterature, with references to facilitate further investigation ofindividual topics.
Underscoring the multidisciplinary and multifunctionalcharacteristics of nanomaterials, this book is recommended forstudents and professionals in science and engineering who need abroad perspective on both the nature and application ofnanomaterials. The text also sets the stage for the development ofnew nanomaterials and new applications.
