mechanical, optical, transport and magnetic properties.

Press Release Body = Nanostructure control of materials
Edited by R H J Hannink and A J Hill, CSIRO Manufacturing and Infrastructure
Technology, Australia

Key Features of Nanostructure control of materials :

- reviews key developments in nanotechnology and their impact on various materials
- edited by leading experts in the field

The ability to measure and manipulate matter on the nanometer level is making
possible a new generation of materials with enhanced mechanical, optical, transport
and magnetic properties. Nanostructure control of materials summarises key
developments in nanotechnology and their impact on the processing of metals,
polymers, composites and ceramics.

After a brief introduction, a number of chapters discuss the practical issues
involved in the commercial production and use of nanomaterials. Other chapters
review ways of nanoengineering steel, aluminium and titanium alloys. Elsewhere the
book discusses the use of nanoengineered metal hydrides to store hydrogen as an
energy source, and the development of nanopolymers for batteries and other energy
storage devices. Other chapters discuss the use of nanotechnology to enhance the
toughness of ceramics, the production of synthetic versions of natural materials
such as bone, and the development of nanocomposites.

Nanostructure control of materials is an ideal introduction to the ways
nanotechnology is being used to create new materials for industry. It will be
welcomed by R&D managers in such sectors as automotive engineering as well as
academics working in this exciting area.
