Functionalized inorganic fluorides: synthesis, characterization and properties of nanostructured solids

Many recent research advances in inorganic fluorinated solids have come aboutas a result of the elaboration and functionalization of these materials at the nanometric scale. The book will cover several classes of nanostructured and functionalised inorganic fluoride-based solids, including powders, glass-ceramics, thin layers, nanotubes for applications as catalysts, inorganic charges, coloured pigments, UV absorbers, phosphors, and materials for integrated optics. Topics covered range from new synthesis routes to physico-chemical characterizations concerning decisive properties of these materials, including morphology, diffraction, thermal, spectroscopic and optical behaviour. A strong focuswill be on new types of solids such as nanopowders, hybrids, mesoporous and intercalated fluorinated materials. The theoretical approach of the subject andthe potential applications will be also highlighted.Alain Tressaud is Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and Head of the Functionalized Materials Group at the Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry of Bordeaux (ICMCB-CNRS), University Bordeaux1. He has published over 300 papers in international journals, edited / contributed to 12 books, and edited several journal special issues. Alain has alsochaired/ organised many international meetings on fluorine, and is Chairman of the French Fluorine Network, CNRS.
