Nanotechnology is science, technology, and engineering that conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. The magic of nanomaterials is their nano-size endowed them with brand new and unique properties, which enable them to be applied in various fields. Undoubtedly, this emerging technology is changing and will continue to change our life dramatically. This course will introduce students some nano-related concepts and theories, and also the applications of nanomaterials in different areas, such as cosmetics, biomedicine, electronics, aerospace, etc. By the end of this course, students will get to acknowledge the uniqueness of nanotechnology and appreciate its significance in the improvement of our daily life and the development of our society.
This major reference work presents a detailed overview of recent research developments on fundamental and application-inspired aspects of soft and bio-nanomaterials and their emerging functions. It summarizes the recent advances in several fields of soft matter systems with the focus on understanding their nanoscale properties, establishing methods for creating desired structural organizations, and exploring their novel functions for a broad range of applications, ranging from filtration to interface control and from nanoscale patterning to nanomedicine. This book is divided into four volumes, dealing with soft matter under geometrical confinement, polymers on the nanoscale, bio-inspired nanomaterials, nanomedicine, respectively.
