Hybrid Nanocomposites for Nanotechnology: Electronic, Optical, Magnetic and Biomedical Applications

Libor Matĕjka (auth.), Lhadi Merhari (eds.)978-0-387-30428-1, 978-0-387-72398-3

This book will cover the latest advances of polymer-inorganic nanocomposites and will particularly focus on high-added-value applications in fields ranging from electronics, optics, magnetism to biotechnology. Traditionally, organic-inorganic composites are thought of in terms of mechanical properties reinforcement, the polymer-clay system being the typical example
