Keine Frage: Nanomaterialien gehören momentan zu den "hot topics", und zwar sowohl in der Forschung als auch in der Industrie. Dieses Handbuch vereinigt die Expertisen führender Spezialisten der Nanotechnologie. Die Autoren geben einen aktuellen Überblick über Theorie, Synthese, Eigenschaften, Charakterisierung und Anwendung von Nanomaterialien.

Die Materialeigenschaften moderner Werkstoffe werden wesentlich von Struktureinheiten im Nanometerbereich bestimmt. Den so genannten Nanomaterialien wird daher ein hohes Potenzial für Anwendungen in allen Schlüsseltechnologien attestiert. So bilden ultradünne Polymerschichten die Grundlage für neue optische, elektronische sowie biologisch wirksame Systeme. Die Beschichtung mit metallischen und keramischen Pulvern oder Fasern gehört ebenfalls zu den Anwendungsfeldern der Nanomaterialien. Materialwissenschaftler, Chemiker und Mitarbeiter in der chemischen bzw. der Halbleiterindustrie brauchen einen Überblick über das gesamte Feld der Nanomaterialien.
The Chemistry of Nanomaterials ermöglicht den Einstieg ins Thema ebenso wie das gezielte Nachlesen zu einer Spezialfrage. Quantenpunkte, nanoporöse Materialien, Nanodrähte und -röhren, Nanopolymere, Nanokatalyse oder Syntheseverfahren für Nanoteilchen - dies sind nur einige der Themen, derer sich die Spezialisten hier annehmen. Das gesamte Spektrum der Forschung wird repräsentiert, von aktuellen Theoriediskussionen bis zu industriellen Anwendungen einzelner Materialien. Für die Qualität der gebotenen Informationen bürgt das internationale Autoren- und Herausgeberteam, bestehend aus führenden Nanotechnologie-Spezialisten.
