| Summary |
"Self-Assembly and Nanotechnology: A Force Balance Approach explores a variety of materials and situations in which self-assembly nanotechnology is becoming increasingly important; addresses the critical junction of two important fields - self-assembly and nanotechnology; bridges the topics of self-assembly, colloids, and surfaces with nanotechnology; approaches self-assembly, nanotechnology, and related topics with one unified concept - force balance; provides a concise and conceptual description of the fundamental forces involved in both self-assembly and nanotechnology; includes clear schematic illustrations to represent the principles; and integrates recent discoveries and findings."--BOOK JACKET |
