Short description
This conceptual book delivers comprehensive coverage of key subjects in self-assembly nanotechnology. It provides clear schematic illustrations to represent the mainstream principles behind each topic. This feature makes this book an indispensable tool in bridging topics in nanotechnology including self-assembly, colloids, and surfaces. The book can also be used as a part of the teaching materials when the courses are joint-efforts across different disciplines or different departments, which are to cover a broader range of nanotechnology.
