Report

"The book will be of value to graduate students and researchers from several disciplines who wish to orient themselves in the exciting new area of organic electronics and nanotechnology. It succeeds very well and is and outstanding and useful reference." ( Materials World , 1 March 2013)
"Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading these two volumes and believe that they will provide both an introduction to the field for the novel adepts who are starting to develop an interest in supramolecular chemistry and materials, as well as a useful guidance and a reference text, from fundamental to applications, for experts who would like to keep abreast of the field with the latest and most significant achievements for several years to come." (Materials Views, 13 September 2011)
"All in all, Functional Supramolecular Architectures is an excellent interdisciplinary resource for chemists, material scientists, and chemical engineers practicing in both academic and industrial R&D settings. In addition, it may be an intriguing choice as a primary text for a graduate-level special topics course dealing with functional supramolecular materials and applications thereof."
