Rao (Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research, India) collects material by leading nanomaterials scientists to provide an overview of the entire spectrum of nanomaterials, from theory, synthesis, properties, and characterization to applications using developments such as quantum dots, nanoparticles, and nanostructural polymers. The book starts with a brief introduction to nanomaterials, followed by chapters dealing with the synthesis, structure, and properties of various types of nanostructures. There are chapters devoted to oxomolybdates, porous silicon, polymers, electro- and photochemistry, nanoporous solids, and nanocatalysis. Nanomanipulation and lithography are covered in a separate chapter. Some specific areas covered are synthesis and assembly of metallic nanorods, core-shell semiconductor nanocrystals for biological labeling, and phase-transfer processes in nanomaterials synthesis.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
