The collection of topics in this book aims to reflect the diversity of recent advances in nanomaterials, nanochemistry and smart materials with a broad perspective which may be useful for scientists as well as for graduate students and engineers. The book offers scope for academics, researchers, and engineering professionals to present their research and development works that have potential for applications in several disciplines of engineering and science. Contributions range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material and/or structural behaviour of new and advanced systems. This book presents leading-edge research from around the world in these dynamic fields.
