Product Description
Details
These soft materials at a nanometer scale are regarded as soft nanomaterials, the examples include nanostructured materials such as polymers, liquid crystals, gels, self-assemblies, biopolymers, membranes, thin films, monolayers, multilayers, nanocomposites, hybrids, biological and biomimetic materials, etc. Soft nanomaterials are a special class of materials that have applications in our daily life including foams, gels, cosmetics, adhesives, detergents, food packaging, lubricants, electronics, photonics, medicines, biomedical sciences, etc. Soft Nanomaterials summarize new developments and the role of nanotechnology at the interface of materials science and surface science. The research areas of coverage for this book are quite broad which include synthesis, processing, fabrication, spectroscopic characterization, properties and applications of soft nanomaterials. This book brings under a single cover all experimental and theoretical aspects of the soft nanomaterials focusing on an interdisciplinary approach by blending their chemistry, physics, and biology. The book focuses on all aspects dealing with the chemistry, physics, biology and engineering of soft nanoscale materials and their applications. This book contains eighteen state-of-the-art review chapters written by world's experts in the field as well as over two thousand references, hundreds of figures, tables, chemical structures and equations. The book contains 18 review chapters focused on different aspects of soft nanomaterials. The book has been divided into two volumes..
