Elsevier Nanostructures: Properties, Processing, and Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

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. The structures of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, hybrid, novel and natural nanomaterials are covered in-depth to provide a broad-based understanding for the reader. Sections cover major techniques for characterizing these properties and the major applications and performances of nanostructured materials, drawing comparisons and highlighting efficacy. This is an important information source for early career researchers and engineers who want to understand nanostructured materials and their applications.
