Abstract

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are transforming materials science in a broad way, in a manner similar to polymer chemistry’s transformation of materials science over the preceding century. The continuous development of novel nanostructured materials and the extensive study of physicochemical phenomena at the nanoscale are creating new approaches to innovative technologies that are constantly resulting in products with a wide range of applications [1–5].

Keywords
