Summary

Adopting a practical approach to the various inorganic nanomaterials accessible by chemical synthesis routes today, this textbook provides an all-encompassing picture of every important nanomaterial processing strategy. Clearly structured, it covers nanoparticles, tubes and rods, mono- and multilayers, nanocrystals, nanostructured bulk materials, and nanopatterned surfaces, as well as inorganic-organic hybrids. Ideal for training young scientists and for current research.

Author Biography

Nicola H?sing received her Ph.D. degree in 1997 from the University of W?rzburg, Germany. In 1998, she was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship with C.J. Brinker on nanostructured thin films. After she returned to Vienna, she finished her habilitation in 2003 and joined the faculty at Ulm University as a Full Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 2004. In 2005 she was awarded the Donald-Ulrich Award of the International Sol-Gel Society. Her research interests are in the synthesis of sol-gel based porous materials and mesoscopically organized systems, especially with respect to synthesis - structure - property relations.

Katharina Landfester did her Ph.D. thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz and received her Ph.D. degree in 1997 from the University of Mainz. After spending a postdoctoral fellowship with M.S. El-Aasser at Lehigh University, USA, she returned to Germany to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam. She completed her habilitation in 2002 and joined the faculty at Ulm University as a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry in 2003. In 2001 she was awarded the Sr. Hermann Schnell Award and the Reimund Stadler Award. From 2002 to 2007, she was member of the "Junge Akademie" of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and German Natural Researchers Leopoldina. Her research interest focuses on the synthesis of nanoparticles in heterophase, especially in miniemulsions.
