Book description
Intelligent Nanomaterials comprehensively provides up-to-date
material of this fascinating field.
The last three decades have seen extraordinary advances in the
generation of new materials based on both fundamental elements and
composites, driven by advances in synthetic chemistry and often
drawing inspiration from nature. The concept of an intelligent
material envisions additional functionality built into the molecular
structure, such that a desirable response occurs under defined conditions.
Divided into 4 parts: Inorganic Materials; Organic Materials;
Composite Materials; and Biomaterials, the 22 chapters cover the
latest research and developments in the processing, properties, and
applications of intelligent nanomaterials. Included are molecular
device materials, biomimetic materials, hybrid-type functionalized
polymers-composite materials, information-and energy-transfer
materials, as well as environmentally friendly materials.
