A unique guide to an essential area of nanoscience
Interest
in nano-sized metals has increased greatly due to their special
characteristics and suitability for a number of advanced applications.
As technology becomes more refined-including the ability to effectively
manipulate and stabilize metals at the nanoscale-these materials present
ever-more workable solutions to a growing range of problems.
Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites
provides the first guide solely devoted to the unique properties and
applications of this essential area of nanoscience. It offers a truly
multidisciplinary approach, making the text accessible to readers in
physical, chemical, and materials science as well as areas such as
engineering and topology.
The thorough coverage includes:
- The chemical and physical properties of nano-sized metals
- Different approaches to the synthesis of metal-polymer nanocomposites (MPN)
- Advanced characterization techniques and methods for study of MPN
- Real-world applications, including color filters, polarizers, optical sensors, nonlinear optical devices, and more
- An extensive list of references on the topics covered
A unique, cutting-edge resource for a vital area of nanoscience development, Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites
is an invaluable text for students and practitioners of materials
science, engineering, polymer science, chemical engineering, electrical
engineering, and optics.
