Publisher's Synopsis
Functionalization and Surface Science of Nanostructured Materials brings together cutting-edge techniques and strategies for surface functionalization of nanomaterials, supporting a range of novel applications. The book begins by presenting the fundamentals of surface science of nanostructured materials, introducing chemistry, physics, analysis, strategies, and fundamental methods. This is followed by detailed chapters focusing on simulation and theory, analytical tools, and novel strategies for fabrication, stabilization of nanostructures, and ligand exchange for hydrophilicity. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth coverage of applications across engineering, diagnostics, therapeutics, photovoltaics, photocatalysts, supercapacitors, and water treatment.
This book will be of interest to all those with an interest in surface functionalization of nanomaterials for advanced applications, including researchers, advanced students, scientists, engineers, and R&D professionals.
