Description: The 43-th volume of journal "Journal of Nano Research" includes peer-reviewed papers by results of scientific and engineering researches from field of nanomaterials and applied nanotechnologies. We hope this collection will be useful and interesting for a wide range of engineers, scientists and students which activity is related with creation and using of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in the different branches of human activity.

Description: Any advance application desires advanced material. R&D in the field of materials science is an endless effort with infinite possibilities, and can attain by an individual or combining the understanding of the fundamental properties of natural and synthetic polymers, biopolymers, semiconductors, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, hybrids etc., and exploiting these toward the development of new materials significant opportunities in the advanced materials can be realized. With the aid of advanced technology in material research, researchers are developing innovative noble materials and devices. A wealth of material is that it is truly interdisciplinary. Some of these latest and in depth research and review articles on different advanced materilas and their applications will be accommodated in this book.

This book can have variety of readers, like graduate students and scientists/researcher, working on materilas science and engineering.
