Preface

This book contains a brief overview of nanostructured materials for applications in Engineering, including some of its interfaced and supporting areas. After the introduction, it presents the general properties of nanomaterials, addressing special phenomena and potentials properties, without going into too much scientific detail of the physics and chemistry involved. The next chapters present applications of nanostructured materials in the following fields: nanomagnetic materials, optoeletronic and ferroeletric applications, energy applications, bio-applications, catalysis, nanoreinforcements for nanocomposite materials, applications in refractory materials, adsorbent applications and use of natural and modified nanomaterials. For each application, it is described the last developments of laboratorial and/or industrial activities, as well as the trends in new materials and their technological processing. We hope that the clear language and the application-oriented perspective are suitable for both engineers and students that want to discover the fascinating field of nanostructured materials. 31st of January 2011 Brazil
