Nanoscale Assembly : Chemical Techniques

Nanotechnology has received tremendous interest over the last decade, not only from the scientific community but also from a business perspective and from the general public. This book takes a closer look at a great variety of different strategies that are pursued to assemble and organize nanostructures into larger assemblies and even into functional devices or materials. It gathers a spectrum of researchers who have not only furthered our knowledge of self-assembly, but have also shown it to be a practical tool in the assembly of an astonishing variety of devices, ranging from molecular electronics to biosensors.
