About The Product

This second, comprehensive edition of the pioneering book in this field has been completely revised and extended, now stretching to two volumes. The result is a comprehensive summary of layer-by-layer assembled, truly hybrid nanomaterials and thin films, covering organic, inorganic, colloidal, macromolecular and biological components, plus the assembly of nanoscale films derived from them on surfaces. For anyone working in the field as well as scientists and researchers active in materials development who need the key knowledge provided here for linking the fields of molecular self-assembly with materials- and biosciences.
