Analytical Nanochemistry

Analytical Nanochemistry: How Nanotechnology and Analytical Chemistry Impact Each Other explains the fundamental information needed to understand and utilize nanomaterials, including their classification, synthesis, functionalization, characterization methods, separation and isolation techniques, and toxicity. In addition, it covers fundamental information on different aspects of analytical procedures and method development. Finally, it emphasizes micro- and nano-enabled analytical devices and instruments as well as nanotools for nanoanalysis. The book opens with a section on fundamentals, then continues with a section on the role of nanomaterials in analytical procedures, including sample preparation, separation and detection.

The third section includes chapters on micro- and nano-enabled devices, as most miniaturized microsystems include nanofeatures. Final sections cover future perspectives, including nanoanalysis, bioanalysis, toxic risks, and limitations of both technology and commercialization. The book serves as a valuable resource for students, instructors and researchers in analytical chemistry, nanomaterials and nanotechnology investigating the use of nanotechnology in their analytical procedures.
