Attention has been particularly devoted to the application of nanoscale particles of zero-valent iron, and a range of halogenated aliphatic compounds has been examined. 

Micelles the mostly spherical nanoscale aggregates formed by amphiphilic compounds above their critical micelle concentration in aqueous solution have a narrow size distribution and are dynamic, because there is a fast exchange of amphiphiles in solution and those incorporated in micelles. However, micelles are defined as self-assembled structures, since the structure is in thermodynamical equilibrium. 

The miniaturization of matter to a critical specific size often results in dramatic changes of properties. In most cases those events happen on the nanoscale. Nanoscience, and in consequence nanotechnology, describe and use such nanoeffects to take profit of novel properties without the need of preparing new chemical compounds. 

Comparisons of CE and HPLC on similar analytical problems have been reported [879-883]. In contrast to CE and HPLC, GC is best suited for analysis of nonpolar, lower MW, volatile compounds. HPLC and GC have detection limits roughly 100-1000 times lower than CE, while traditional electrophoresis has detection limits comparable to CE. As already mentioned, the inferior detection sensitivity and precision of CE when compared with HPLC are caused by the technique s nanoscale. 

The use of nanoscale materials in the dean-up of hazardous waste sites is termed nanoremediation. Remediation of soil contaminated with pentachloro phenol using NZVI was studied [198]. In a separate study, soils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls was treated using iron nanopartides [194], NZVI and iron oxide have been suggested to be used as a colloidal reactive barrier for in situ groundwater remediation due to its strong and spedfic interactions with Pb and As compounds [199]. 

The work described here is concerned with the development of electrochemical methodologies to grow compound semiconductors with nanoscale or atomic layer control. That thin-films of some compounds can be formed electrochemically is clear. The questions are how much control over deposit composition, structure and morphology can be obtained What compounds, and of what quality, can be formed ... 

The creation of nanoscale sandwiches of compound semiconductor heterostructures, with gradients of chemical composition that are precisely sculpted, could produce quantum wells with appropriate properties. One can eventually think of a combined device that incorporates logic, storage, and communication for computing—based on a combination of electronic, spintronic, photonic, and optical technologies. Precise production and integrated use of many different materials will be a hallmark of future advanced device technology. 

Materials synthesis is a necessary component in the development of advanced technologies for national security and homeland defense. For instance, new composites, nanoscale molecules and compounds, and polymers are needed for tougher, explosion- or puncture-resistant materials that can be employed in buildings, garments, bridges, and other products and structures. Personal protective materials could be enhanced with new chemical adsorbents filter materials, impermeable membranes, artificial sutures, and improved energetic materials for... 

By using an incrementally staged strategy, the architectural features of switchable rotaxane 9H3+ (Fig. 13.9)15 were incorporated into those of a previously investigated16 triply threaded two-component supramolecular bundle. The result was the construction of two-component molecular devices like 10H39+ (Fig. 13.11) that behave like nanoscale elevators. 17 Compound 10H39+, which measures about...
