This first full-color introduction mainly addresses engineers needing to know the special phenomena and potentials without delving into the physics and chemistry involved. Based on the author''s own courses, it shows how to use nanomaterials in engineering applications.
Table of contents:
Introduction
Synthesis of nanomaterials
Characterization techniques
Properties of nanomaterials (thermal, optical, magnetic, electronic)
Processing of nanomaterials
Emerging applications

The textbook Nanomaterials by Dieter Vollath covers the wide range from synthesis, properties, characterization and application of nanomaterials. It is well balanced between basic science, explained in a well understandable and clear language, and applications. Obviously, the book benefits from the profound scientific and teaching experience of the author.[...]
Each chapter is illustrated richly with beautiful micrographs, diagrams and sketches, and is accompanied by a large reference list. This book is highly recommended for engineers looking for an insight into the nano-world and for students who want to have a good overview on nanomaterials.
