Nanostructures: Properties, Processing, and Applications is
oriented around the Structure-Property-Processing-Applications and
Performance lifecycle of materials development at the nanoscale.
Through analogies and illustrations, the book explains the complex
fundamentals in the areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology in an
accessible way. The structures of metallic, polymeric, ceramic,
hybrid, novel and natural nanomaterials are covered in depth to
provide a broad-based understanding to the reader. The properties
of materials are dependent on their structure; this is even more
the case when nanostructures are examined. This book explains the
major techniques for characterizing these properties. In order to
control these properties, the synthesis of nanomaterials is
essential. Hence a wide evaluation of processing of these materials
with a focus on controlling size, shape, and structure is a focal
point of the book. The second half of the book covers the major
applications and performances of nanostructured materials, drawing
comparisons with previous technologies for applications,
highlighting the efficacy of nanoscale technologies vis-Ã -vis
the conventional ones. This is an important information source for
early career researchers and engineers wanting to understand the
fundamentals of nanostructured materials, and what their major
applications are.
