Nanomaterials

A broad primer on nanomaterials that walks through the whole field, starting with how these materials are produced and moving on to their characteristic properties, the methods used to process them, and where they are applied. Its scope runs from single clusters and tiny particles up to nanostructured solids and layered multilayer structures.

The book approaches the subject through the physics, materials science and physical chemistry that underlie these materials, so readers see how atomic-scale structure leads to the behaviour observed at the nanoscale.
