Bücher der Reihe Nanomaterials and their Applications

Because of its exceptional electronic and optoelectronic properties, graphene has the potential to become an important material in next-generation electronic and energy applications. This authoritative volume discusses the synthesis, properties, and potential applications of graphene, including in electronic, sensor, energy, and display technologies. Suitable for researchers and graduate students, it provides a cohesive, critical review of graphene nanoscience and technology, offering valuable insight into how this material is made and used.

Among the various nanomaterials, inorganic nanoparticles assume a special place because they are cheaper than others and easier to synthesize in the laboratory and mass produce. This text captures the current advances and fundamentals of synthesis, characterization, and application development of these materials.

New challenges are emerging for plasma-based processes as we shift from thin film technology to nanotechnology. Offering numerous examples of plasma processing of nanomaterials, this book provides an in-depth overview of recent advances in this crucial area, as well as threats to its development. Addressing both experimental and theoretical aspects of plasma processing technology, the author illustrates examples of its successful application in nanoelectronics, catalysis, energy sensors, nanomedicine, and several other fields.
