He is the Editor-In-Chief of the principal journal in his field! Biosensors & Bioelectronics! which he co-founded in 1985. Klappentext Intelligent Nanomaterials comprehensively provides up-to-date material of this fascinating field.The last three decades have seen extraordinary advances in the generation of new materials based on both fundamental elements and composites! driven by advances in synthetic chemistry and often drawing inspiration from nature. The concept of an intelligent material envisions additional functionality built into the molecular structure! such that a desirable response occurs under defined conditions.Divided into 4 parts: Inorganic Materials; Organic Materials; Composite Materials; and Biomaterials! the 22 chapters cover the latest research and developments in the processing! properties! and applications of intelligent nanomaterials. Included are molecular device materials! biomimetic materials! hybrid-type functionalized polymers-composite materials! information-and energy-transfer materials! as well as environmentally friendly materials.
