Nano-sized Multifunctional Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applicationsexplores how materials can be down-scaled to nanometer-size in order to tailor and control properties. These advanced, low-dimensional materials, ranging from quantum dots and nanoparticles, to ultra-thin films develop multifunctional properties. As well as demonstrating how down-scaling to nano-size can make materials multifunctional, chapters also show how this technology can be applied in electronics, medicine, energy and in the environment. This fresh approach in materials research will provide a valuable resource for materials scientists, materials engineers, chemists, physicists and bioengineers who want to learn more on the special properties of nano-sized materials. Outlines the major synthesis chemical process and problems of advanced nanomaterialsShows how multifunctional nanomaterials can be practically used in biomedical area, nanomedicine, and in the treatment of pollutantsDemonstrates how the properties of a variety of materials can be engineered by downscaling them to nano size | Nano-sized Multifunctional Materials by Nguyen Hoa Hong, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
