Bavykin, Frank C. Walsh Publisher Royal Society of Chemistry Number Of Pages: 154 Publication Date: 2010-01 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1847559107 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781847559104 BooK Description This exciting new book is a unique compilation of data from a wide range of chemical and spectroscopic instrumentation and the integration of nanostructure characterization drawn from physical, chemical, electrochemical, spectroscopic and electron microscopic measurements. It fills a gap in the current nanomaterials literature by documenting the latest research from scientific journals and patent literature to provide a concise yet balanced and integrated treatment of an interesting topic: titanium oxide nanostructures within the emerging fashionable area of nanomaterials. Of particular interest are the following key chapters: •Modification and Coating Techniques - provides a unique summary and discussion of available techniques to coat surfaces with nanostructured materials; •Chemical Properties - relates structure to surface chemistry and hence applications; •Structural and Physical Properties - reviews the relationship between nanostructure and physical properties providing a basis for the rationalization of applications.
