Ordered Porous Nanostructures and Applications

Ordered porous nanostructures have emerged in the last ten years in different kinds of materials and with different pore diameters and interpore spacing. This book reviews the most interesting materials on the market concerning self-ordering, including macroporous silicon, porous alumina, MCM41 and photonic bandgap materials, which is one of the hottest topics in optics and nano-technology in the last five years, according to "Science" magazine.

From the reviews:

"Ralf Wehrspohn has assembled timely contributions from leading researchers whose expertise is focused on ordered porous materials. ... this is an informative and timely book that describes the most important methods of synthesis and applications of porous nano-structures. It is a good ... reference work for researchers working in the field of ordered porous materials." (Michael J. Sailor, Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 46 (5), 2007)
