Chemical Principles of Nanoengineering
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.
