| Description: |
"Nanoscale materials exhibit extraordinary physical and chemical features which play a very important role in their applications in advanced tech- nologies. Due to their technological relevance, these materials have been a major driving force in academia as well as industries for laying down the foundation of new smart products for the benefit of society. During the last couple of decades, significant progress has been made towards developing new types of nanomaterials by various methods, i.e., physical, chemical and biological, including unconventional strategies directly inspired by nature. The functionality of these nanoscale structures increases when they are further functionalized with different atomic, molecular, and biological entities, etc., in the form of hybrids and composites. The intelligent mate- rials exhibit the capability of responding to the change generated by any signal--chemical, electrical, optical, etc.--as a consequence of any external defined stimuli. Functional nanoscale materials are best suited for the class of intelligent materials. A lot of progress has already been made over the last decades towards intelligent materials, and the emergence of specific material features engineered by exploiting their excellent nanoscale fea- tures has been witnessed."-- |
| Synopsis: |
Overall, this book presents a detailed and comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art development of different nanoscale intelligent materials for advanced applications. Apart from fundamental aspects of fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials, it also covers key advanced principles involved in utilization of functionalities of these nanomaterials in appropriate forms. It is very important to develop and understand the cutting-edge principles of how to utilize nanoscale intelligent features in the desired fashion. These unique nanoscopic properties can either be accessed when the nanomaterials are prepared in the appropriate form, e.g., composites, or in integrated nanodevice form for direct use as electronic sensing devices. In both cases, the nanostructure has to be appropriately prepared, carefully handled, and properly integrated into the desired application in order to efficiently access its intelligent features. These aspects are reviewed in detail in three themed sections with relevant chapters: Nanomaterials, Fabrication and Biomedical Applications; Nanomaterials for Energy, Electronics, and Biosensing; Smart Nanocomposites, Fabrication, and Applications. |
