Nanoparticles and Nanomaterials: Designs, Characterization and Applications

Nanoparticles and nanomaterials are studied in the interdisciplinary science of nanotechnology. Nanomaterials are particles ranging in size between 1 and 100 nm. Nanostructures are structures intermediate between microscopic and molecular structures. The study of these is achieved by integrating the principles of semiconductor physics, surface science, organic chemistry, molecular engineering, etc. The applications of nanoparticles and nanostructures are diverse. Prominent among these are n...
