Nanomaterials, their synthesis, and property studies have been an obsession with modern current physicists, chemist, and materials scientists for their vast array of technological implications and the remarkable way their properties are modified or enhanced when the size dimensions are reduced to the realm of nanometers. Although nanomaterials, for a lot of practical purposes have been in... Read more

Biography

Avanish Kumar Srivastava

"Designed purposefully to provide with an overview of the present-day research on metal oxide nanomaterials to practitioners, graduate students and engineers, this book treats the subject using terms familiar to materials scientists and engineers. While the book has been compiled keeping in mind specialists working in the field of nanostructured metal oxides, it could be useful to all those interested in nanoscience."
Prof. C. N. R. Rao, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, India

"This is a very opportune time to publish a book on this very alive topic of metal oxides. While it is a challenging task to cover all aspects of oxide nanomaterials in a single book, the authors of this monograph have made a serious effort and one can expect the readers to find this an engrossing and useful book."
Prof. Ramesh Chandra Budhani, CSIR—National Physical Laboratory, India

"This book will serve as a valuable reference for students, scientists, engineers and specialists in both academia and industry concerned with the fundamental and technological/industrial applications of metal oxide nanostructures."
Prof. Anand Mohan, National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra, India

"This volume provides the reader with the tools to manufacture and characterise nanoparticulate metal oxides for a plethora of applications."
Dr. Simon J. Holland, Chairperson, International Organization for Standardization Committee on Nanotechnologies, ISO TC229
