Nanoparticles presents the remarkable variety of nanoparticle families compositions
structures and functions. The book discusses nanoparticles made of semiconductors metals
metal-oxides organics biological and hybrid constituents.Through a wealth of examples and
case studies supplemented by numerousfigures readers that are not necessarily active or
experts in this area acquire abroad overview of this exciting field at the interface between
scientifi c research and practical technologies.The contents summarize the contributions to
this field of diverse scientific and technological disciplines - chemistry physics biology
electronics and others providing a comprehensive knowledge - the types of nanoparticles their
compositions and how the relationships between the atomic constituents affect their properties
as well as potential applications of nanoparticles.- Covers diverse uses of nanoparticles in
scientifi c research and industrial applications underscoring their extraordinary diversity
and potential utilization.- Experimental and conceptual approaches applied to the study of
nanoparticles are discussed extensively. Additional references provide the reader with a basis
for further study.- Also available by Professor Jelinek: Biomimetics - A Molecular Perspective
