Nanotechnology has received tremendous interest over the last decade, not only from the scientific community but also from a business perspective and from the general public. This book takes a closer look at a great variety of different strategies that are pursued to assemble and organize nanostructures into larger assemblies and even into functional devices or materials. It gathers a spectrum of researchers who have not only furthered our knowledge of self-assembly, but have also shown it to be a practical tool in the assembly of an astonishing variety of devices, ranging from molecular electronics to biosensors.

From the reviews:
"The timely topic of Nanoscale Assembly encompasses such a large and expanding body of work that W. T. S. Huck was both wise and insightful to focus the scope of his book onto Chemical Techniques. Moreover, by gathering authors with contrasting backgrounds in chemistry and physical chemistry, the editor showed a genuine will to stimulate a debate . . the individual contributions are good introductions to their respective fields. . this book could be useful for students or for general multidisciplinary reading . ."
