CRC: 2011, 578 pages Having successfully replaced elements used in traditional, pollution-prone, energy-consuming separation processes, nanoporous materials play an important role in chemical processing. Although their unique structural or surface physicochemical properties can, to an extent, be tailored to meet specific process-related requirements, the task of characterizing them completely is still a difficult and frequently controversial prob...

Noyes Publications, New York, 2002, 612 p. This book attempted to cover the very broad field of nanostructure science and technology and included assessments of the areas of synthesis and assembly, dispersions and coatings, high surface area materials, functional nanoscale devices, bulk nanostructured materials, and biologically related aspects of nanoparticles, nanostructured materials, and nanodevices. A conclusion of the report is that while m...

Springer, 2011. - 272 pages. (Nanostructure Science and Technology) This book presents nanotechnology fundamentals and applications in the key research areas of information technology (electronics and photonics) and alternative (solar) energy. Three major technology areas – electronics, photonics and solar energy - are linked on the basis of similar applications of nanostructured materials in research and development. By bridging the materials...

Springer, New York, 2011, 95 pages Since the size, shape, and microstructure of nanocrystalline materials strongly impact physical and chemical properties, the development of new synthetic routes to nanocrystals with controlled composition and morphology is a key objective of the nanomaterials community. This objective is dependent on control of the nucleation and growth mechanisms that occur during the synthetic process, which in turn requires...
