Through both explanation and discussion, this title presents a
complete review into mesocrystals, and accurately describes this
relatively new study of established materials. This book also
provides an introduction to other areas of crystallisation
including self-assembly, classical crystallisation and colloidal
crystals.
Key features:
* Description of crystals as well as their formation processes
and ways to modify them.
* Examines new ways towards the design of new materials and aids
comprehension of the building principles of biominerals.
* Helps to explain many unusual observations made in the study of
crystallisation.
