Kurzbeschreibung

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.

A practical, enlightening overview and explanation of self-assembly and nanotechnology

Self-assembly is an important method used in nanotechnology to construct objects from the nanoscale to microscale. A fabrication process in which nanostructures form naturally has the potential to be much cheaper than building the nanostructures manually. To encourage and facilitate exploration of these processes, Self-Assembly and Nanotechnology: A Force Balance Approach:
*

Explores a variety of materials and situations in which self-assembly nanotechnology is becoming increasingly important
*

Addresses the critical junction of two important fields: self-assembly and nanotechnology, with seven chapters on each field
*

Bridges the topics of self-assembly, colloids, and surfaces with nanotechnology
*

Approaches self-assembly, nanotechnology, and related topics with one unified concept--force balance
*

Provides a concise and conceptual description of the fundamental forces involved in both self-assembly and nanotechnology
*

Includes clear schematic illustrations to represent the principles
*

Integrates recent discoveries and findings

This is an ideal text for courses that span different disciplines or different departments--a very effective approach for teaching nanotechnology. Complete with references for further, more in-depth information at the end of each chapter, it is also a valuable resource for researchers and scientists, including chemical engineers, physical and materials scientists, and others.
