Trade Review
"a well-organized book that provides an excellent introduction in nanoscience and the design of nanomaterials. The book is accessible to newcomers to the field, including the undergraduate reader, and provides a sound and broad basis upon which to pursue further in-depth study."
—Prof. dr. ir. Andre ten Elshof, University of Twente
"an indispensable resource in the fields of biophysics, chemistry, nanoscience and beyond. The breadth and depth of knowledge presented herein is unmatched. A clearly written and thorough understanding of the basics, as well as state-of-the-art, in biophysics is provided. But this book also includes several well organized chapters on synthesis and characterization methods for nanomaterials used in biophysical studies. It truly embodies the multidisciplinary nature of modern research."
—Marcus D. Lay, PhD, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art
