Materials with defined functional structures are needed for many applications such as catalysis, solar cells and drug delivery, however, to be able to produce the correct architecture an understanding of the concepts and methods is required.
‘Nanoarchitectonics’ was introduced by Masakazu Aono, Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan and describes the organisation of nanostructured units into a specific arrangement to produce a specific function.
In Manipulation of Nanoscale Materials, Katsuhiko Ariga introduces this concept, covering nanoarchitectonics for materials development, bio-conjugates and bio-applications, and advanced devices. The first book in its field, this is essential reading for anyone interested in nanomaterials research.
