Mesocrystals and Nonclassical Crystallization

Through both explanation and discussion, this title presents a complete review into mesocrystals, and accurately describes this relatively new study of established materials. This book also provides an introduction to other areas of crystallisation including self-assembly, classical crystallisation and colloidal crystals. <p> Key features:</p> <ul type=”disc”> <li>Description of crystals as well as their formation processes and ways to modify them.</li> <li>Examines new ways towards the design of new materials and aids comprehension of the building principles of biominerals.</li> <li>Helps to explain many unusual observations made in the study of crystallisation.</li> </ul> <p>Written by the professionals in this subject ‘Mesocrystals: New Self-Assembled Structures’ outlines the future potential of this topic within a variety of disciplines including engineering science, physics and chemistry, making it a versatile and valuable text.</p>
