Description and Table of Contents

Description

The essence of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is the ability to fabricate and engineer materials, structures and systems where the manipulation of the properties and functionalities is a result of the control of the material's building blocks whose dimension is in the nanometer regime. This book presents an in-depth description of nanostructures and the many ways that they can be advantageously engineered by the controlled assembly of suitable nano-objects as building blocks. Nanotechnology is here considered as an enabling technology by which existing materials, virtually all man-made, can acquire novel properties and functionalities, making them suitable for novel applications varying from structural and functional to advanced biomedical in-vivo and in-vitro uses.
