Design of Nanostructures: Self–Assembly of Nanomaterials

Adopting a unique approach, this book provides a thorough, one–stop introduction to nanoscience and self–assembly of nanomaterials composed of such materials as metals, metal oxides, semiconductors, polymers, and biopolymers. Clearly divided into three sections covering the main aspects of nanoscience, the first part deals with the basic principles of nanoscale science. Alongside essential approaches and forces, this section also covers thermodynamics, phase transitions, and applications to biological systems. The second and third parts then go on to provide a detailed description of the synthesis of inorganic and organic nanoparticles, respectively. With its interdisciplinary content of importance to many different branches of nanoscience, this is essential reading for materials scientists, solid state physicists, chemical engineers, and biotechnologists alike.
