Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/48cbd2/intelligent_nanoma) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Intelligent Nanomaterials" to their offering.

Smart and intelligent nanomaterials are currently in sharp focus in materials research as their properties are increasingly becoming more understood. This large and fairly comprehensive volume includes thirty chapters divided into four main areas: Inorganic materials, organic materials, composite materials, and biomaterials. It covers the latest research and developments in smart nanomaterials: processing, properties, and applications. Included are molecular device materials, biomimetic materials, hybrid-type functionalized polymers-composite materials, information-and energy-transfer materials, as well as environmentally friendly materials.
