Processing of Nanoparticle Materials and Nanostructured Films [PDF ebook] 

There have been extraordinary developments in nanomaterials in the
past two decades. Nanomaterial processing is one of the key
components for this success. This volume, titled Processing of
Nanoparticle Materials and Nanostructured Films, is a collection of
the papers presented at Controlled Processing of Nanoparticle-based
Materials and Nanostructured Films symposium held during the
Materials Science and Technology 2009 conference
(MS&T’09), October 25-29, 2009 in Pittsburgh, PA. It
summarizes the progress that has been achieved most recently in
understanding and processing nanoparticle-based materials and
nanostructured films.

Nanoparticle-based materials and nanostructured films hold great
promise to enable a broad range of new applications. This includes
high energy conversion efficiency fuel cells, smart materials, high
performance sensors, and structural materials under extreme
environments. However, many barriers still exist in understanding
and controlling the processing of nanoparticle-based materials and
nanostructured films. In particular, agglomeration must be
controlled in powder synthesis and processing to enable the
fabrication of homogeneous green or composite microstructures, and
microstructure evolution must be controlled to preserve the size
and properties of the nanostructures in the finished materials.
Also, novel nanostructure designs are highly needed at all stages
of bulk and thin film nanomaterial formation process to enable
unique performances, low cost, and green engineering. This volume
focuses on three general topics, 1) Processing to preserve and
improve nanoscale size, structure, and properties, 2) Novel design
and understanding of new nanomaterials, such as new synthesis
approaches, templating, and 3D assembly technologies, and 3)
Applications of nanoparticle assemblies and composites and thin
films.
