L'autore:

Yoon S. Lee, PhD, is a Scientific Information Analyst at Chemical Abstracts Service (a division of the ACS) where he indexes literature and builds databases for nanoscience and nanotechnology, specifically in the area of colloid and surface chemistry. After earning his PhD from Seoul National University in South Korea, Dr. Lee performed postdoctoral research at The Ohio State University and worked as a research chemist at Cognis. He has authored several articles on self-assembly and nanotechnology.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

A practical, enlightening overview and explanation of self-assembly and nanotechnology

Self-assembly is an important method used in nanotechnology to construct objects from the nanoscale to microscale. A fabrication process in which nanostructures form naturally has the potential to be much cheaper than building the nanostructures manually. To encourage and facilitate exploration of these processes, Self-Assembly and Nanotechnology: A Force Balance Approach:

• Explores a variety of materials and situations in which self-assembly nanotechnology is becoming increasingly important

• Addresses the critical junction of two important fields: self-assembly and nanotechnology, with seven chapters on each field

• Bridges the topics of self-assembly, colloids, and surfaces with nanotechnology

• Approaches self-assembly, nanotechnology, and related topics with one unified concept—force balance

• Provides a concise and conceptual description of the fundamental forces involved in both self-assembly and nanotechnology

• Includes clear schematic illustrations to represent the principles

• Integrates recent discoveries and findings

This is an ideal text for courses that span different disciplines or different departments—a very effective approach for teaching nanotechnology. Complete with references for further, more in-depth information at the end of each chapter, it is also a valuable resource for researchers and scientists, including chemical engineers, physical and materials scientists, and others.
