Nanoengineered Structural Materials

This book explores bio-nanoengineering as it applies to materials and structures, particularly those used in aerospace engineering. In chapters contributed by 30 top researchers performing cutting-edge work in the field, it encompasses and integrates the many different aspects of biomimetics and nanoscience vital to developing new materials systems. Topics flow smoothly from the synthesis of nanoscale materials to assembly of macroscale materials, modeling, simulation, performance evaluation, and characterization. Nanoengineered Structural Materials will allow professional and student materials scientists and engineers to bridge the gap between basic science and application of nanomaterials.
