From Nanopowders To Functional Materials Piticescu Radu Robert Lojkowski by Piticescu, Radu Robert; Lojkowski, Witold; Blizzard, John R. (eds.) 9780881736717, 9781613447345, 0881736716, 1613447345 instant download after payment.

This book contains proceedings from the Symposium G, European Materials Research Society, Fall Meeting, Warsaw University of Technology, 6th-10th September, 2004. The aim of the present book was to enable those working at the cutting-edge of research to present and debate the progress currently being made, in the theory and application, of functionalized nanoparticles within a multidisciplinary forum. The papers cover the topics including applications of functional materials, as based upon their mechanical, catalytic, electronic, optical and photonic properties; atomic and transport properties; electrical, magnetic and ferroelectric properties, as well as biocompatibility. This very useful collection of state-of-the-art papers constitutes an invaluable springboard to creating the nanotechnologies of tomorrow.
