Understand the chemical properties of nanomaterials with this thorough introduction
Nanomaterials which possess at least one dimension lower than 100 nanometers are increasingly
at the forefront of technological and chemical innovation. The properties of these uniquely
minute materials give them distinctive applications across a huge range of industries and
research fields. It is therefore critical that the next generation of engineers and materials
scientists understand these materials their chemical properties and how they form bonds.
Chemical Principles of Nanoengineering answers this need with a thorough detailed introduction
to nanomaterials and their underlying chemistry. It particularly emphasizes the connection
between nanomaterial properties and chemical bonds which in turn allows readers to understand
how these properties change at different scales. The result is a critical resource for
understanding these increasingly vital materials. Chemical Principles of Nanoengineering
readers will also find: Step-by-step arrangement of material to facilitate learning in sequence
and gradual self-guided progress End-of-chapter problems and key concept definitions to
reinforce learning Detailed coverage of important nanomaterials like quantum dots carbon
nanotubes graphene and more Chemical Principles of Nanoengineering is a must-have for
advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in materials science chemical
engineering chemistry and related fields.
