UGA prof co-edits book about nanomaterials

Anisotropic and Shape-Selective Nanomaterials: Structure-Property Relationships reviews recent advances in the synthesis, characterization and physico-chemical properties of anisotropic nanomaterials.

The book is co-edited by Simona Hunyadi Murph, an adjunct professor in UGA’s physics and astronomy department  and a principal scientist in the National and Homeland Security Directorate at Savannah River National Laboratory. The other two co-editors of the book are  George K. Larsen and Kaitlin J. Coopersmith, both senior scientists at the SRNL.

Anisotropic and Shape-Selective Nanomaterials highlights various emerging applications of nanomaterials, including sensing and imaging, (bio)medical applications, environmental protection, plasmonics, catalysis and energy.

It provides an excellent and comprehensive overview of the effect that morphology and nanometric dimension has on the physico-chemical properties of various materials and how this leads to novel applications.
