Water Droplets to Nanotechnology: A Journey Through Self-Assembly

By Luca Malfatti, Paolo Falcaro, Plinio Innocenzi

Self-assembly is a key concept for nanotechnology, but it can be quite a difficult subject to approach. Using everyday examples, this book gives a simple and general overview of the different self-assembly processes which are at the basis of recent developments in nanotechnology. Internationally renowned scientists show how simple and common phenomena such as the coffee stain and tears of wine can become a tool for making nanomaterials. By taking the reader on a journey from everyday life to the secrets of nanotechnology, the book is suitable for a non-specialist audience interested in the wider perspectives and the latest developments of nanoscience.
