Über dieses Buch

Nanostructured materials have been largely studied in the last few years. They have great potential of applications in different fields such as materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine. Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials is a subject of great interest involving science, market, politicians, government and society. Based on results obtained by the authors' research group during the past decade, this book comes to present novel techniques to synthesize nanostructured materials and characterize their properties such as crystallinity and crystallite size, specific surface area, particle size, morphology and catalytic activity. This book is aimed for students, researchers and engineers searching for methodologies to obtain and characterize nanostructures in details.

Chapter 1. Introduction

Abstract

The Science of Nanomaterials is proving to be one of the most attractive and promising fields for technological development in this century. In the scientific literature several terms related to Nanoscience can be found, of which it is worth highlighting nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanofibers, nanotubes and nano-composites. In fact, all these are related to nanostructured materials, which have well-defined structural features.

Chapter 2. Combustion Synthesis

Abstract

The Science of Nanomaterials is proving to be one of the most attractive and promising fields for technological development in this century. In the scientific literature several terms related to Nanoscience can be found, of which it is worth highlighting nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanofibers, nanotubes and nanocomposites. In fact, all these are related to nanostructured materials, which have well-defined structural features. The physical and chemical properties of materials at the nanometer scale (usually set in the range of 1–100 nm) are of immense interest and increasing importance for future technological applications. Nanostructured materials often exhibit different properties when compared to other materials.

Chapter 3. Spray Pyrolysis

Author

The technologies of thin film making differ widely in terms of chemical and physical principles of operation, as well as in the types of commercial equipment that are available for its production. Due to these characteristics, each process is used and developed according to what one wants to obtain, and this leads to advantages and disadvantages. Research on optimization of existing techniques and development of new technologies are of great importance today.

Chapter 4. Electrospinning

Abstract

The idea of using an electric field for the production of textile fibers from a polymer melt or solution was conceived in the early 30 s [1]. In 1969, Taylor conducted a study of a drop of polymer on the tip of a capillary in an electrospinning equipment. This study led to a greater understanding of the behavior of polymer solutions ejected from a capillary [2].

Chapter 5. CCVD Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes

Abstract

Since their discovery in 1991 by Sumio Iijima [1], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have generated enormous interest in the area of both fundamental and applied research, in view of their exceptional mechanical, thermal and electronic properties [2].

Chapter 6. Hydrothermal Synthesis

Abstract

The term hydrothermal was first used by the geologist Sir Roderick Murchison (1792–1871) to describe the action of water at elevated temperature and pressure leading to the formation of various rocks and minerals.

Chapter 7. High-Energy Milling

Abstract

Nanoparticles can be produced by mechanical attrition. Such nanoparticles are formed in a mill in which energy is used to transform course-grained materials into nanostructured powders. The particles themselves can have a size distribution of less than 100 nm, called a nanoparticle, or, as is common in materials milled using mechanical attrition, the product is highly crystalline, and the crystallite size after milling is between 1 and 10 nm in diameter, called nanocrystalline materials [1].
