Surfaces of Nanoparticles and Porous Materials

the long version

This innovative reference collects state-of-the-art procedures for the construction and design of nanoparticles and porous materials, and suggests appropriate areas of application.Presenting both synthesis and characterization protocols, Surfaces of Nanoparticles and Porous Materialscharts the use of spectroscopy in characterizing structural and chemical heterogeneityshows how intraparticle and interparticle resistance affects the transport of adsorbentsdeals with the utilization of nanostructural materials in gaseous and liquid environmentsemphasizes the importance of structural and energetic heterogeneity and its influence on the performance of three-dimensional materialspresents case studies illustrating the adsorption properties of surfaces under both the influence of a solvent capable of altering the surface, and chemical heterogeneityconsiders both inorganic and organic adsorbatesand more!Complete with over 3000 references, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Surfaces of Nanoparticles and Porous Materials benefits physical, surface, colloid, inorganic, organic, polymer, medicinal, and analytical chemists; chemical engineers; materials scientists; biochemists; biophysicists; biotechnologists; biomaterials specialists; and graduate students in these disciplines.
