Gold Nanoparticles, Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites - S K Khadheer Pasha - Bog

Gold Nanoparticles, Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites: Science, Technology and Applications provides a comprehensive review of recent research developments in the synthesis, processing, functionalization, characterization, and properties of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for a broad range of different applications. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental chemistry, different synthesis approaches, strategies for stabilization and control of shape size and morphology, surface chemistry and physicochemical characteristics, as well as surface functionalization and applications of Au NPs. The book also covers important topics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, cytotoxicity and the health and environmental impact of Au NPs. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers working in the fields of materials science and engineering, nanomaterials, polymer composites, and biomedical engineering.
