The book "Nanostructures and Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications" by G. Cao and Ying Wang is a generalization of fundamental principles and technological approaches to the synthesis, manufacture and processing of nanostructures and nanomaterials. It provides readers with a systematic, comprehensive review of material on nanotechnology - the booming symbiosis of basic scientific research and the technology for designing and manufacturing nanostructures and nanomaterials - and the application of nanomaterials and nanostructures. The detailed presentation of the material and the combination of the presentation of the fundamental physical and chemical foundations of processes with the consideration of specific technologies and technical applications makes the book attractive to both specialists and beginners in this subject.
