The text features experimental investigations which use a variety of modern methods and theoretical modeling of surface structures and physicochemical processes which occur at solid surfaces. Nanomaterials and Supramolecular Structures: Physics, Chemistry, and Applications is in…
A revised version of the second edition of this manual which appeared in 1974, this report provides information currently available in Europe for those whose responsibility it is to minimise the cost of corrosion.
"In the face of today's environmental and economic challenges, doomsayers preach that the only way to stave off disaster is for humans to reverse course: to de-industrialize, re-localize, ban the use of modern energy sources and forswear prosperity. But in this provocative and o…

This book is one of a series of reference volumes on international standards in various fields of activity prepared by the Russian National Institute for Standardisation (see the author's summary on p. 7). Although initially intended for the benefit of Russian industry and comme…
Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are finding their place in many modern technologies such as electronics (memory or spintronic devices) and medicine (contrast media, electromagnetic thermal therapy) to name just a few examples. The application of modern techniques based on synchrotr…
"Provides an in-depth review of the history, fundamental theory, design strategies, and applications of nanogenerators. Working principles, device mechanisms, material characteristics, types of nanogenerators, as well as their different uses are fully explored"--
Boron nitride was first produced in the 18th century and, by virtue of its extraordinary mechanical strength, has found extensive application in industrial processes since the 1940s. However, the more recent discovery that boron nitride allotropes are as structurally diverse as …
"Careful choice of nanoparticles as targets and in drug delivery routes enhances therapeutic efficacy in cancer. This book discusses nanotechnological developments of interfering RNA-based nanoparticles and delivery vehicles, validated therapeutic RNAi-molecular target interacti…
"This book describes the status of clinical trials related to siRNA-based cancer therapy, as well as the remaining issues that need to be overcome to establish a successful therapy. It, then introduces various promising design strategies of delivery vehicles for stable and targe…
Nanocomposites are composite materials that have dimensions less than 100 nm in at least one of their phases, offering a higher surface-to-volume ratio. They are high-performance materials, exhibit unusual properties, and are considered as materials of the 21st century. In this …
"This new book focuses on the use of natural active substances and nutraceuticals in nano-research for improved healthcare management and applications. It explores advanced nanomaterials that can be utilized for the encapsulation of nutrients, vitamins, and phytoconstituents for…
Nanostructured materials exhibit distinct properties by virtue of their nanoscale morphological variations, which open up endless possibilities to investigate unexplored and interesting applications. This textbook broadly covers the fabrication and characterization of nanostruct…
"There's plenty of room at the bottom" - Richard Feynman's legendary sentence has practically teleported the world into the age of Nano-technology over the last couple of decades. As nano-materials started drawing extensive attention, the use of nano-technology has opened many p…
It has been observed that rapid population expansion has raised the amount of anthropogenic activity, resulting in high levels of pollution in water, air, and solid waste as well as an increase in the pressure placed on agricultural lands. Bioaugmentation Techniques and Applicat…
"In the past four decades, there has been growing interest in the exciting new topic of physics in low dimensions. Thousands of original ideas have been proposed in the literature, and some are confirmed experimentally, along with several Nobel prizes which have been awarded in …
The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science…
