Self-assembled nanostructures

"This book was written by five prominent scientists who have made substantial contributions to the field of self-assembled nanostructures. This is the first book that addresses in detail the chemistry of self-assembly from molecules to nanostructures. Corresponding characterization and potential applications of self-assembled nanostructures as coherently presented. The objective is to provide a systematic and self-contained discussion in the selected subjects. The style of the book aims at bridging the gap between basics and advanced level references in self-assembled nanostructures.". "The book intends to attract a broad range of readers. Student readers may consult the book for basic and advanced physical concepts and formula pertaining to specific characterization techniques ranging from spectroscopy to microscopy. Expert readers can select topics of interest and find systematic summaries and updates. Academic readers may utilize a portion of the content for undergraduate or graduate curriculum such as architectures based upon the self-assembly of nanostructure building blocks. Industrial researchers or engineers may focus on specific applications of nanostructures, ranging from physical to chemical and biological systems."--BOOK JACKET.
