This technical book explains the science, chemistry and fabrication of nanocoatings—and the critical connections among them. It offers the theory to develop new coatings and the quantitative tools to understand which formulations are promising and which are not. It is thus aimed towards the entire coatings development team: from theorist to lab researcher to formulator. As a scientific guide for designing coatings to which nanoparticles are added, the text shows how to create, test and certify a nanocoating with the correct functional properties. Information in this volume will enable specialists to identify nanocoatings formulations with commercial potential. Nanoparticles discussed include: metal oxides, quantum dots, CNTs, graphene, nanoclays, photoconductors and more.The book offers numerous formulas for calculations in synthesizing, testing and applying nanocoatings, and all such formulas can be readily activated with inputs/outputs in everyday units using a series of EXCEL spreadsheets provided by the authors. Formulas include: interparticle distance, Rayleigh and Mie scattering, percolation, clay barriers, microemulsions, HSP solvent blends, modules from bending, DLVO theory, pinholes and fibers, grinding energy, nanoindentation, Stefan equation for embossing—and more.

In the past four decades, there has been growing interest in the exciting new topic of physics in low dimensions. Thousands of original ideas have been proposed in the literature, and some are confirmed experimentally, along with several Nobel prizes which have been awarded in this field. While there are several books available, almost all are technical and accessible only to expert researchers.This book provides an accessible introduction to the field, with less emphasis on technical details. Whilst this book does not provide a traditional history of nano-science, instead it uses simple explanations and case studies as vehicles to explain key discoveries and the importance of them, enabling readers without a background in the area to gain an understanding of some aspects of nanoscale physics. It will be of interest to researchers working in condensed matter physics, in addition to engineers and advanced students in those disciplines. It also remains accessible to 'physics enthusiasts' from other academic disciplines, as technical details are contained within boxes and footnotes which can be skipped for a general reading of the book.

After over 20 years of their commercialization, lithium-ion batteries have experienced a rapid market growth despite a sluggish worldwide economy. With emerging new markets, lithium-ion batteries need to provide enhanced performance in terms of energy density, power density, calendar life, and safety. This requires the development of new electrode and electrolyte materials capable of storing more lithium at faster rates with higher chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability.This book covers the most recent advances in the science and technology of nanostructured materials for lithium-ion applications. Some of the most renowned scientists and technologists in the field present their state-of-the-art research on nanostructured anode and cathode materials, some of which are already in use in commercial batteries. The book will be a useful reference in the fast-growing field of nanostructured materials for energy storage and conversion, which is expected to shape the next-generation lithium-ion batteries driven by a highly demanding and fast-expanding market.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Inodores, incolores, invisibles et passe-partout grâce à leur très petite taille, les nanomatériaux ont envahi depuis quelques décennies les objets du quotidien : bonbons et chocolats, peinture et colle, vêtements et médicaments, yaourts et plats cuisinés, crème de beauté et dentifrice... Même les emballages en regorgent ! Désormais il faut donc compter avec eux. Nous les inhalons et les ingurgitons sans même nous en apercevoir tant leur cheminement à travers l'organisme est sinueux et énigmatique. Car avant même d'évaluer leurs capacités à traverser ou non des barrières biologiques, avant même de juger de leur utilité, les voilà sur place et en masse. Où réside le génie de ces Lilliputiens ultraréactifs ? Ils augmentent les rendements des panneaux solaires, rendent les capteurs hypersensibles, démultiplient la puissance de calcul des ordinateurs, réinventent l'électronique, élaborent des médicaments sans effets secondaires... Faut-il en avoir peur ? Les encenser ou les boycotter ? Arrêter d'en produire ou, au contraire, foncer dans cette course mondiale qui a débuté il y a à peine deux décennies ? A travers une série de rencontres avec des spécialistes, l'auteure souligne la complexité du problème dès lors que l'on y porte un regard global, alerte contre les solutions simplistes, et plaide pour que le consommateur soit pleinement informé. Car dans ce nanomonde qui s'ouvre, c'est notre vigilance et notre sens civique qui feront toute la différence."
