Nanotechnology: An Introduction to Nanostructuring Techniques - Hardcover

..".comprehensive coverage of all underlying principles...quite instructive diagrams..." Chemistry & Industry "Through this fascinating introduction, both scientists and engineers gain insights into the "other side" of nanotechnology in this highly recommended publication." AFS - Advances in Food Sciences "Of interest to scientists and engineers in many research areas of nanotechnology, this book offers a valuable referee source and some state-of-the-art reviews." Lifeng Chi, Physics Department, Universitat Munster, small "In summary, the book offers a general survey of nanolitography and scanning probe techniques." Colloid & Polymer Science "The book is clearly written for people with a technical background who either wish to start research and development in nanotechnology or just want to learn more about nanotechnology and what it stands for. Once your mind becomes receptive to the idea of nanotechnology, the book is relatively easy to read, and I would recommend it as a good introductory text." Materials World

This revised and up-to-date translation of the very successful German original accompanies the reader from the introductory level right up to in-depth knowledge, backed by numerous literature references. It begins with the most important fundamentals of microtechnology and chemistry on which an understanding of shaping nanoscale structures is based. It then goes on to describe a variety of examples to illustrate the fabrication of nanostructures from different materials, before presenting readers with a wide range of methods for characterization of the generated structures. Thanks to its clear style and didactic approach, this fascinating introduction provides both scientists and engineers with insights into the "other side" of nanotechnology.
