Tomorrow's chemistry today : concepts in nanoscience, organic materials and environmental chemistry

Providing a glimpse into the future, the young scientists contributing here were considered to be the most important for tomorrow's chemistry and materials science. They present the state of the art in their particular fields of research, with topics ranging from new synthetic pathways and nanotechnology to green chemistry. Of major interest to organic chemists, materials scientists and biochemists. Subcomponent Self-assembly As A Route To New Structures And Materials / Jonathan R.
