Novel Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Materials

Covering the very latest cutting-edge research, this work brings readers right up to date on nanostructured materials, a rapidly emerging field with innumerable potential applications in materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine.

Nanostructured materials have been largely studied in the last few years. They have great potential of applications in different fields such as materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine. Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials is a subject of great interest involving science, market, politicians, government and society. Based on results obtained by the authors' research group during the past decade, this book comes to present novel techniques to synthesize nanostructured materials and characterize their properties such as crystallinity and crystallite size, specific surface area, particle size, morphology and catalytic activity. This book is aimed for students, researchers and engineers searching for methodologies to obtain and characterize nanostructures in details.

Present new methodologies for the characterization of nanostructures State-of-the art useful for students in the field Presents research from the LACER Institute at UFRGS Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
