Nano- and microtechnology from A-Z: from nanosystems to colloids and interfaces

This reference provides brief explanations for the most important terms that may be encountered in a study of the fundamental principles, experimental investigations, and industrial applications of nano– and microscience, including colloid and interface science. More than a dictionary, the book also provides information on properties, units, equations, techniques, and pioneers in the field. The comprehensive content covers both current and older terms, complete cross–references for the most important synonyms, abbreviations, and acronyms, and numerous tables for the quick overview.

An authoritative reference, vital for unhindered communication and knowledge transfer in this fast–growing and broadly interdisciplinary field.
