Preface
This book highlights the most recent advances in nanoscience from leading
researchers in Ukraine, Europe, and beyond. It features contributions from participants of the 5th International research and practice Conference “Nanotechnology
and Nanomaterials” (NANO-2017), held in Chernivtsi, Ukraine on August 23–26,
2017. This event was organized jointly by the Institute of Physics of the National
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Ivan Franko National Chernivtsi National University (Ukraine), University of Tartu (Estonia), University of Turin (Italy), and
Pierre and Marie Curie University (France). Internationally recognized experts from
a wide range of universities and research institutes shared their knowledge and
key results in the areas of nanocomposites and nanomaterials, nanostructured surfaces, microscopy of nano-objects, nanooptics and nanophotonics, nanoplasmonics,
nanochemistry, nanobiotechnology, and surface enhanced spectroscopy.
Nowadays nanotechnology is becoming the most actively developing and
promising field of science. Numerous nanotechnology investigations are already
producing practical results that can be applied in various areas of human life from
science and technology to medicine and pharmacology. The aim of the present
book is to highlight the latest investigations from different areas of nanoscience and
to stimulate new interest in this field. Volume II of this two-volume work covers
such important topics as nanocomposites, nanochemistry, nanobiotechnology, and
enhanced vibrational spectroscopy.
This book is divided into two sections—Part I: Nanochemistry and Biotechnology; and Part II: Nanocomposites and Nanomaterials. Sections covering Nanoscale
Physics, Nanooptics and Photonics, and Nanostructured Interfaces and Surfaces can
be found in Volume I.
The papers published in these five sections fall under the broad categories of
nanomaterial preparation and characterization, nanobiotechnology, nanodevices and
