Brochure Brochure More information from http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/2326694/ Ideas in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences. Advances in Nanotechnology, Materials and Devices Description: This volume represents one of the three edited by inviting a selection of young researchers participating to the European Young Chemist Award 2008. The other two volumes concern the two different areas of Synthetic Chemistry and Life Sciences and are respectively entitled "Ideas in Chemistry and Molecular Sciences: Advances in Synthetic Chemistry" and "Ideas in Molecular Sciences: Where Chemistry Meets Life". This book contains the contributions of selected young chemists from the field of nanotechnology and material sciences. The contributions are grouped under the following umbrella topics: * Preparation of new materials and nanomaterials * Innovative characterization methods * Understanding of material properties and functions * Materials and applications in advanced devices This volume is an indispensable read for all Material Scientists, Organic Chemists, Analytical Chemists interested in seeing what tomorrow's chemistry will look like.
