Functional Nanomaterials is the first and unique compilation of the state-of-the-art review chapters covering all aspects of functional nanomaterials and their applications. Nanotechnology has led to a profound paradigm shift after the developments in recent years and after being classified as one of the most important areas of impending technology by the U. S. government. Novel functional nanomaterials are the basis of newly emerging nanotechnologies for various device applications. This book with 30 chapters reflects the tremendous world-wide interest in functional nanostructured materials. The wide variety of topics covered in this book is interesting for professionals working in the fundamental and applied research. The book covers major classes of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, carbon and polymer nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanosheets, fullerenes, supramolecular and self-assembled nanostructures, and many other types of nanomaterials. In addition, this book highlights various physico-chemical properties of different nanostructures such as catalytic, dielectric, magnetic, fluorescent and luminescent properties as well as applications of nanomaterials in sensors, photonics, drug delivery, proteomics, biomolecular electronics, and Homeland Security.

(Halloysite is an aluminosilicate clay material containing...)
Halloysite is an aluminosilicate clay material containing particles predominantly of tubular morphology on the nanometer scale. It is an economically viable material with abundant natural reserves around the globe. Halloysite is used for various applications including preparation tableware products and anti-corrosion coatings. Due to its tubular morphology it can be also filled with pesticides and insect repellents, etc. Halloysite has also been explored for potential applications in drug delivery systems. A few studies have shown the great potential of halloysite in this regard. In this work, two composites of halloysite nanotubes with multi-functional and biocompatible polymers have been prepared and characterized for potential application in drug delivery and nanobiotechnology.

(The area of macromolecular and supramolecular science and...)
The area of macromolecular and supramolecular science and engineering has gained substantial interest and importance during the last decade and many applications can be envisioned in the future. The rapid developments in this interdisciplinary area justify a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in the research of materials and processes that is given in this monograph. This monograph is based primarily on synthetic architectures and systems covered by the contents of selected plenary and invited lectures delivered at the 1st International Symposium on Macro- and Supramolecular Architectures and Materials (MAM-01): Biological and Synthetic Systems, which was held from 11-14 April 2001 on the international campus of the Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology (K-JIST) in Kwangju, South Korea. In addition, it contains several complementing contributions in this novel field of science dealing with synthetic architectures and represents a unique compilation of reviewed research accounts of the in-depth knowledge of macromolecular and supramolecular materials and processes.

Geckeler was born on July 14, 1948 in Weingarten, Germany; the son of Christian and Emma Geckeler.
Geckeler received a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemistry in 1973 and a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1978 from the University of Tubingen.
Geckeler began his career as a research assistant at the University of Tuebingen in 1973. Two years later he took a position of an assistant professor at the same university. Then he worked as a visiting lecturer at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry of the University of Science and Technology in France from 1977 to 1978.
In 1980, Kurt was a visiting scientist at Harvard University and held it for a year. Also in 1991, he served as a visiting professor at the University de Concepcion.
Since 1998 Kurt has been a professor at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology. Nowadays he is also a professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Medical System Engineering at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology and serves as vice director of the Gruenberg Center for Magnetic Nanomaterials. Geckeler is the Founding Chair of the Department of Nanobio Materials and Electronics, World Class University in Gwangju.
