Health Aspect of Nanostructured Materials

Functional Nanostructured Molecular Materials

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Fall 2001 here has been tremendous recent interest in the design and assembly of porous nanostructured materials.1 Synthetic approaches range from coordination-polymer formation to surfactant-templated alumino-silicate growth to semiconductor nanoparticle aggregation, while functions include chemical catalysis, chemical sensing, energy storage, and energy...

Bulk Behavior of Nanostructured Materials

Nanostructured Materials, and Nanodevices

Nanostructured materials for photon detection.

The detection of photons underpins imaging, spectroscopy, fibre-optic communications and time-gated distance measurements. Nanostructured materials are attractive for detection applications because they can be integrated with conventional silicon electronics and flexible, large-area substrates, and can be processed from the solution phase using established techniques such as spin casting, spray...

Thermal Transport in Nanostructured Materials

A detailed understanding of thermal transport at the nanoscale is becoming increasingly needed. This need is largely being driven by two distinct technological challenges. First, continuous miniaturization of electronic devices and the ever-increasing density of the components on integrated circuits (ICs) place ever-increasing thermal loads on systems. Indeed, it is now necessary to make therma...
