Spin nanostructured materials

In general, there are two approaches to assemble nanostructured materials, namely, physical assembly and chemical assembly. Physical assembly techniques are based on the assembly of nonfunctionalized nanoparticles on surfaces by physical forces, which include convective or capillary assembly,3,4 spin coating,5 and sedimentation.6 The physical assembly of nanoparticles generally results in relatively simple, closely packed two- or three-dimensional particle arrays. In addition, the physically assembled nanoparticle structures lack long term stability because they were deposited at relatively low surface pressures.7... 

The following chapters present the general aspects of different synthesis of nanostructured materials, such as Combustion Synthesis (Chap. 2), Spray Pyrolysis (Chap. 3), Electro spinning (Chap. 4), Catalytical Chemical Vapor Deposition applied in the Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes and Carbon Nanotubes Forests (Chap. 5), Hydrothermal Synthesis (Chap. 6) and High-Energy Milling (Chap. 7).
