Self-assembly is therefore a key concept for nanotechnology, but it can be quite a complex and difficult subject to approach. \u003cb\u003eWater Droplets to Nanotechnology \u003c\/b\u003egives a simple and general overview of the different self-assembly processes which are at the basis of recent developments in nanotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book shows how simple phenomenon from everyday examples can become sophisticated tools for self-assembly and the fabrication of nanomaterials. By exploring the coffee stain and tears of wine phenomena, the first part looks at how the evaporation of a droplet of colloidal solution can be used in designing organized structures. This leads onto more complex systems such as templated porous materials, photonic crystals, colloidal nanocrystals and quasi-crystals through to bottom-up systems for designing hierarchal materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy taking the reader on a journey from everyday life to the secrets of nanotechnology, the book is suitable for a non-specialist audience interested in self-assembly as well as the wider perspectives and latest developments of nanoscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Plinio Innocenzi, Luca Malfatti, Paolo Falcaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849736642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849736640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Society of Chemistry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.37w x 0.76d","brand":"Plinio Innocenzi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055676846335,"sku":"9781849736640","price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94509df8-b201-4915-980a-6a9916587c12.jpg?v=1685037143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/water-droplets-to-nanotechnology-plinio-innocenzi-9781849736640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
