Advanced surfaces enriches the high-throughput engineering of physical and chemical phenomenon in relatin to electrical, magnetic, electronics, thermal and optical controls, as well as large surface areas, protective coatings against water loss and excessive gas exchange. A more sophisticated example could be a highly selective surface permeability allowing passive diffusion and selective transport of molecules in the water or gases. The smart surface technology provides an interlayer model which prevents the entry of substances without affecting the properties of neighboring layers. A number of methods have been developed for coatings, which are essential building blocks for the top-down and/or bottom-up design of numerous functional materials. Advanced Surface Engineering Materials offers a detailed up-to-date review chapters on the functional coatings and adhesives, engineering of nanosurfaces, high-tech surface, characterization and new applications. The 13 chapters in this book are divided into 3 parts (Functional coatings and adhesives; Engineering of nanosurfaces; High-tech surface, characterization and new applications) and are all written by worldwide subject matter specialists. The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds across chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science, environmental, bio- and nano- technologies and biomedical engineering. It offers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on surface engineering materials and their technological importance.

Corrosion is an expensive and potentially dangerous problem in many industries. The potential application of different nanostructured materials in corrosion protection, prevention and control is a subject of increasing interest. Corrosion protection and control using nanomaterials explores the potential use of nanotechnology in corrosion control.The book is divided into two parts. Part one looks at the fundamentals of corrosion behaviour and the manufacture of nanocrystalline materials. Chapters discuss the impact of nanotechnology in reducing corrosion cost, and investigate the influence of various factors including thermodynamics, kinetics and grain size on the corrosion behaviour of nanocrystalline materials. There are also chapters on electrodeposition and the corrosion behaviour of electrodeposited nanocrystalline materials. Part two provides a series of case studies of applications of nanomaterials in corrosion control.

From the self-cleaning properties of the lotus leaf to smartphones that have hundreds of millions times more processing power than computers that sent mankind to the moon, the importance of nanotechnology is beyond dispute. Throughout the last couple of decades, the ever increasing demand for technology have driven not only the quest for new nanomaterials, but also efficient ways to produce them. In this work, novel methods towards producing complex nanomaterials is presented: from molecules to product. In the first part, a method to synthesize quantum dots (QD) from molecular precursors using ultrasound, in an emulsion system under controlled temperature, is presented. This method offers remarkable temporal control, leading to on-demand synthesis of QDs, and has 10x production capacity compared to the typical single-phase sonochemical synthesis of QDs. In the second part, a general bottom-up method to assemble two different kinds of nanoparticles together by engineering the nanoparticle surface is presented, which opens the path towards scalable production of multifunctional nanomaterials. Finally, a specific application of surface engineering and particle assembly is demonstrated in the context of reducing the brittleness of ceramic membranes for energy storage applications.
