Industrial Applications of Nanocrystals

Industrial Applications of Nanocrystals delivers recent advancements in various industrial sectors as a result of nanocrystals. This reference source for materials scientists and engineers shows how nanocrystals are applied in a variety of industry sectors. Nanocrystals are one of the key elements in nanoscale devices, whose design and function can be tuned by tailoring the fundamental chemical and physical properties of the integrated nanoobjects. Nanocrystals exhibit interesting optical, electrical and chemical properties that are not found in their bulk counterparts. Quantum-confinement effects mean that small changes in their size and shape can have significant effects on physical properties and spectroscopy of nanocrystals. As nanocrystals are a major driver of technology and business in this century, hold the promise of high-performance materials, and will significantly impact all aspects of society, this book is a welcome resource on the topics discussed.  Outlines the major properties and industrial applications of nanocrystals for a variety of industry sectors Describes the major nanocrystal processing techniques Assesses the major challenges of manufacturing nanocrystals on an industrial scale INDICE: Section 1: Nanomanufacturing - large scale synthesis of nanocrystals 1.
