Wiley, 2013. — 509 p.Edited by rising stars in the community, the team of prominent expert authors provides here authoritative first-hand information on the fundamental principles of nanomaterials, as well as their application in catalysis. As a result, the book defines the concepts of nanocatalysis and gives a comprehensive overview of the science of colloidal nanoparticles in particular. Chapters cover micelles, nanoparticles in ionic liquids, dendrimers, nanotubes, nanooxides as well as microreactors, modeling, and characterization of nanocatalysts. An indispensable reference for both researchers at universities and professionals in industry.Contents
