Review: The rapid advances in instrumentation in the last decade have allowed us to measure and manipulate individual molecules and structures on the nanoscale. This book looks at nanocolloid science, including self-assembly, construction of supramolecular architecture, nanoconfinement and compartmentalization, measurement and control of interfacial forces, novel synthetic materials, and computer simulation. There are chapters on: the molecular architecture at solid-liquid interfaces; adhesion at the nanoscale; Langmuir monolayers; supramolecular layer assemblies; mono- and multilayers of spherical polymer particles; wetting and capillarity; 2D and 3D superlattices; molecular nanotechnology and nanobiology with 2D protein crystals; DNA for nanobiotechnology; nanostructured core particles; macromolecular transport in nanostructured media; electrolytes; and polymer-clay nanocomposites.
