Advances in Nanotechnology: Volume 10

Nanotechnology is the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale and is also very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly. This book gathers and presents data on nanotechnology, including fine structure characterisation of nanorod materials using neutron scattering and synchrotron radiation techniques; nanomedicine advancements in burn therapy; nanowire meshes; manganese oxide nanorods; superhydrophobic inorganic nanostructures and low-temperature fabrication of 1-dimensional metal nanostructure arrays by ion irradiation.
