Synthesis and Assembly

  • Chapter
Nanostructure Science and Technology

Abstract

The common theme of this WTEC study is the engineering of materials with novel (i.e., improved) properties through the controlled synthesis and assembly of the material at the nanoscale level. The range of applications is extremely broad, and these will be described in further detail in subsequent chapters in this report. The corresponding means of synthesis and assembly are similarly wide-ranging. But however multifaceted the synthesis approaches and the ultimate applications, there are common issues and unique defining features of these nanostructured materials.
