Chemistry of organo-hybrids: synthesis and characterization of functional nano-objects

Abstract

This book provides readers with a one-stop entry into the chemistry of varied hybrids and applications, from a molecular synthetic standpoint. Describes introduction and effect of organic structures on specific support components (carbon-based materials, proteins, metals, and polymers). Chapters cover hot topics including nanodiamonds, nanocrystals, metal-organic frameworks, peptide bioconjugates, and chemoselective protein modification. Describes analytical techniques, with pros and cons, to validate synthetic strategies. Edited by internationally-recognized chemists from different backgrounds (synthetic polymer chemistry, inorganic surfaces and particles, and synthetic organic chemistry) to pull together diverse perspectives and approaches.
