Successor of the highly acclaimed, first full-color introduction to
nanomaterials - now including graphenes and carbon nanotubes
This full-colored introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology in
particular addresses the needs of engineers who need to know the special
phenomena and potentials, without getting bogged down in the scientific
detail of the physics and chemistry involved.
Based on the author's own courses, this textbook shows how to produce
nanomaterials and use them in engineering applications for novel
products. Following an introduction, the text goes on to treat
synthesis, characterization techniques, thermal, optical, magnetic and
electronic properties, processing and, finally, emerging applications.
A sound overview of the "nano world" from an application-oriented
perspective.
Reviews for the first edition:
"The reader [of this book] profits from the broad scientific teaching
experience of the author.... This book is highly recommended for
everyone who wants to step onto the new and fascinating field of
nanomaterials." (International Journal of Materials Research, May
2009)
"The practical presentation and clarity in writing style makes this book
a winner for anyone wanting to quickly learn about the fundamentals and
practical side of nanomaterials." (IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine,
March/April 2009)
