| Synopsis |
In the last few years, nanostructured materials have received a great deal of attention from the scientific community due to the distinctive properties that arise in matter when its size is reduced to a nanometric scale., A unique guide to an essential area of nanoscience Interest in nano-sized metals has increased greatly due to theirspecial characteristics and suitability for a number of advancedapplications. As technology becomes more refined-including theability to effectively manipulate and stabilize metals at thenanoscale-these materials present ever-more workable solutions to agrowing range of problems. Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites provides the first guidesolely devoted to the unique properties and applications of thisessential area of nanoscience. It offers a truly multidisciplinaryapproach, making the text accessible to readers in physical, chemical, and materials science as well as areas such asengineering and topology. The thorough coverage includes: The chemical and physical properties of nano-sized metals Different approaches to the synthesis of metal-polymernanocomposites (MPN) Advanced characterization techniques and methods for study ofMPN Real-world applications, including color filters, polarizers, optical sensors, nonlinear optical devices, and more An extensive list of references on the topics covered A unique, cutting-edge resource for a vital area of nanosciencedevelopment, Metal-Polymer Nanocomposites is an invaluabletext for students and practitioners of materials science, engineering, polymer science, chemical engineering, electricalengineering, and optics., A unique guide to an essential area of nanoscience Interest in nano-sized metals has increased greatly due to their special characteristics and suitability for a number of advanced applications.
