Gunter Schmid studied chemistry at the University of Munich, did his habilitation in Marburg before he became Professor in Essen. His research focus on the border between chemistry and physics, especially on clusters, colloids and nanoscience. He is author and editor of bestselling books and member in the editorial teams Small and Advanced Functional Materials. In 2003 he got the prestigious Wilhelm-Klemm award of the German Chemical Society.

A bestselling title in its second edition. An introduction to the science of nanoparticles, from fundamental principles to their use in novel applications. With its clear structure and comprehensive coverage, backed by numerous examples from the recent literature, this is a must-have reference for chemists and materials scientists working with and developing<br> nanoparticle systems.<br> <br> Reviews:<br> "Gunter Schmid, the Editor of 'Nanoparticles', is successful in securing the participation of prominent leading experts; he also excels in integrating the chapters in such a way that there is no disjointedness between the different topics which is a great advantage for the reader."<br> ChemPhysChem<br> <br> "...a homogeneous, integrated, well-crafted, and highly readable volume - I strongly recommend that instructors take a serious look at this text - it is also of extraordinary value as a resource for the established<br> researcher..."<br> Journal of the American Society<br> <br> "The book succeeds in conveying important developments in the field, as well as providing useful information for solving actual research problems... it is addressing practitioners in industry, as well as university libraries.
