Chapter 5 Synthesis of Nanostructured Composites of Metals
Abstract
A nanostructured composite material is defined as a material that has a structure such that at least one of its phases has one or more dimensions (length, width, or thickness) in the nanometer size range, usually ranging from 1 to 100 nm. Such materials include polycrystalline materials with nanometer-sized crystallites, materials with surface protrusions spatially separated by distances on the order of nanometers, granular, or porous materials with grain sizes in the nanometer range or nanometer-sized metallic clusters dispersed within a porous or polymeric matrix (supported metal nanoparticles). Among these materials, supported metal nanoparticles have attracted ...
