CRC Press

Colloid and interface science dealt with nanoscale objects for nearly a century before the term nanotechnology was coined. An interdisciplinary field, it bridges the macroscopic world and the small world of atoms and molecules. Colloid and Interface Chemistry for Nanotechnology is a collection of manuscripts reflecting the activities of research teams that have been involved in the networking project Colloid and Interface Chemistry for Nanotechnology (2006\u20132011), Action D43, the European Science Foundation. The project was a part of the intergovernmental framework for Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), allowing the coordination of nationally funded research across Europe.\n\nWith contributions by leading experts, this book covers a wide range of topics. Chapters are grouped into three sections: \""Nanoparticle Synthesis and Characterization,\"" \""New Experimental Tools and Interpretation,\"" and \""Nanocolloidal Dispersions and Interfaces.\"" The topics covered belong to s.
