Description
AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS Functional Nanomaterials by Geckeler
Geckeler (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea) and Rosenberg (University of Montana) present work reviewing the international state of the art in materials and processes for tailoring nanomaterials toward desired functions in various applications. The book covers major classes of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, carbon and polymer nanofibers, and fullerenes, and highlights various physiochemical properties of different nanostructures, such as catalytic, dielectric, and luminescent properties. The range of applications discussed, including photonics, proteomics, biomolecular electronics, homeland security, and drug delivery, will be of interest to a broad spectrum of scientists and professionals working in fundamental and applied research dealing with nanomaterials, nanotechnology, and related scientific disciplines. B&w images and illustrations are included. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
