Author Description

Provides a chemistry-oriented overview of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Presents cutting edge research in vapor phase synthesis, metal colloids in polymers and membranes, nanostructured semiconductors, nanostructured metals and nanocomposites, nanostructured ceramics, and sol-gel derived materials. Describes recent interdisciplinary progress in the control of unique properties of nanostructured materials by rational design in synthesis and processing.
