Nanostructured Materials and Systems: A Collection of Papers Presented at the 8th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology, May 31-June 5, 2009, Vancouver, British Columbia

This issue contains 16 peer-reviewed papers (invited and contributed) incorporating the latest developments related to synthesis, processing and manufacturing technologies of nanoscaled materials and systems including one-dimensional nanostructures, nanoparticle-based composites, electrospinning of nanofibers, functional thin films, ceramic membranes, bioactive materials and self-assembled functional nanostructures and nanodevices. These papers discuss several important aspects related to fabrication and engineering issues necessary for understanding and further development of processing and manufacturing of nanostructured materials and systems.

Sanjay Mathur and Hao Shen are the authors of Nanostructured Materials and Systems, published by Wiley.
