This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials, particularly inorganic nanomaterials. It provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and processing techniques with regard to synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials. Both chemical processing and lithographic techniques are presented in a systematic and coherent manner for the synthesis and fabrication of 0-D, 1-D, and 2-D nanostructures, as well as special nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous oxides. The book will serve as a general introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology for teaching and self-study purposes.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book can be recommended to both students and researchers. It gives the basic information on fabrication and properties of nanostructures in a coherent way ... The relatively large number of figures makes the understanding of the subject easier. The reader has to appreciate also extended list of references for each chapter ..." Acta Physica Slovaca "This book does an excellent job of assembling a wide variety of synthetic techniques and describing how they can be applied to a range of materials for design on the nanoscale. The references range from the classic to the very recent, giving a broad perspective of the area, and an index provides cross-referencing." Journal of the American Chemical Society
About the Author
Dr. Ying Wang is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Louisiana State University since Fall 2008. She has worked extensively on novel nanomaterials synthesis for solar cells and lithium-ion batteries. Her recent awards include the Nanotechnology Graduate Research Award from the University of Washington Initiative Fund (UIF, 2005), a Graduate Fellowship from the PNNL-UW Joint Institute for Nanoscience (JIN, 2005), and a Ford Motor Company Fellowship (2004). She has published 20 journal papers, 8 conference proceedings, 5 book chapters, and has given over 20 invited seminars worldwide. Her paper on "Developments of Nanostructured Cathode Materials for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries" is the Top 5 most downloaded paper in Advanced Materials in 2008 and is selected in the Special Issue "the Best of Advanced Materials in 2009. Her paper on "Nanostructures and Enhanced Intercalation Properties of Vanadium Oxides" is the Top 5 most accessed paper in Chemistry of Materials in 2006. Dr Wang teaches the materials science classes (ME 3701: Materials Science Laboratory; ME 2733: Materials of Engineering).
Dr. Guozhong Cao is Boeing-Steiner Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Adjunct Professor of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA. He received his PhD from Eindhoven University of Technology (the Netherlands), MS from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics and BS from East China University of Science and Technology (China). He has published over 250 refereed papers, written and edited 5 books and 3 conference proceedings, and presented more than 100 invited talks, keynote and plenary speeches, and seminars. His research has led to the creation of two spin-off companies on energy conversion and storage with over 30 patent applications. Currently, Dr. Cao serves as the editor of Annual Review of Nano Research and associate editor of Journal of Nanophotonics. His recent research is focused mainly on nanomaterials for solar cells, lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, and hydrogen storage. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Excellent overview on the chemistry & fab. of nanostructures,

This review is from: Nanostructures and Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties & Applications (Hardcover)
This book is intended to give an overview to those entering the field on how to fabricate nanostructures and their underlying chemistry. The main focus is on the fundamentals such as synthes and fabrication and covers as large range of toptics: nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, thin films, and carbon nanotubes as well as a diverse range of patterning techniques (AFM, self-assembly through conventional lithographic techniques). The last chapter of about 20 pages on applications is a bit short and only gives a general feel. The book should be suitable to both advanced undergrads or grad. students in chemistry, material science, physics, and EE. I myself found it quite accessible for self-study. I especially, liked the first ~50 pags explaining the fundamental such as surface chemistry and excellent explanation of surface tension.

This review is from: Nanostructures and Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications (2nd Edition) (World Scientific Series in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology) (Paperback)
Many books in this area are too concerned with the nano hype and less focused on the science behind it. Others present several chapters, each written by a specific set of authors, that are not necessarily correlated and seem more like a collection of review papers instead of a book. In this context, in my opinion, this book is one of the best books covering the subject (together with ozin's nano chemistry). It covers the real fundamentals and the science that drives the field together with current relevant advances and applications. The only negative aspect of the book is the illustrations, that could be colored and more eye-catching....I was hoping for that in this new edition...Even then, I will give it 5 stars...
