    About this ebook

    With this handbook the distinguished team of editors has combined the expertise of leading nanomaterials scientists to provide the latest overview of this field.

    The authors cover the whole spectrum of nanomaterials, ranging from theory, synthesis, properties, characterization to application, including such new developments as:

    • quantum dots, nanoparticles, nanoporous materials, as well as nanowires, nanotubes and nanostructural polymers
    • nanocatalysis, nanolithography, nanomanipulation
    • methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles.

    The book can thus be recommended for everybody working in nanoscience: Beginners can acquaint themselves with the exciting subject, while specialists will find answers to all their questions plus helpful suggestions for further research.
