Polymer News
"...in this book the editors have done a great job in making different chapters coherent and complementing, even down to the style of writing and the emphasis of areas of coverage. The production of the book is to the highest quality, including the unusual use of colour photographs, when necessary, to good effect."
Materials World
"...provides a refreshing antidote to the hyperbole which is tended to surround this subject... beautifully produced."
Chemistry World
"... it is highly recommended for all libraries that serve researchers working in nanoscience."
E-STREAMS
"... this is a worthwhile contribution to the mainstream nanoscience literature."
Advanced Materials
"Therefore, the book is especially interesting for chemists who want to gain insight into the entire spectrum of nanoscience."
