Thermal and Thermodynamic Stability of Nanomaterials
Description:
The study of nanomaterials is an active area of 21st-century research in physics, chemistry and materials engineering as well as biomedical engineering. Nanomaterials which are defined as substances that are in the form of spherical dot, rod, thin plate or voids of any irregular shape, but smaller than 100nm, find wide application in materials science and technology due to their very distinctive properties as compared with their bulk counterpart.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Containing only invited peer reviewed papers, this volume explores how thermal stability both affects the size of nanomaterials during synthesis and the appropriate applications of the results. The high surface to volume ratio of nanomaterials can result, for instance, in key differences between them and their bulk counterparts in thermo-physical properties, such as melting points and the amount of heat required for formation. Most of the papers come from researchers in India, and quality in editing and translation vaires. Contains very short keyword and author indices.
