Indispensable for the modern teaching in the 21st Century - By: Junggeburth Sebastian, 07 Mar 2009 
The 2nd edition of Nanochemistry - A Chemical Approach to Nanomaterials" is a comprehensive collection of the state of the art of modern nanotechnology viewed with a chemist's eye. The authors take the reader on an exciting tour of nanochemistry with all its facets & interconnects with neighbouring fields, such as biochemistry, polymer science, classical materials science & solid state chemistry, just to name a few. By presenting hundreds of case studiesin a concise, yet entertaining & visionary way, groupedin 13 well-sliced chapters, more than 700 pages packed with the most recent highlights of nanochemistry are covered, supported by catchy & instructive illustrations.
The book is imminently suitable as reference book, teaching guideline (including valuable material for problem sets!) & learning medium alike, appealing to advanced students & researchers interestedin the foundations & concepts of this rapidly growing field, or simply attracted by the beauty of nanoscience. Ozin & co-authors have risen to the challenge of creating the first copious opus extracting the essence of modern nanochemistry, which truly excels at its capability to both inform & inspire.
- THE NANO BESTSELLER !!!! - - By: Engelbert Redel, 31 Jan 2009 The enlarge 2nd edition (13 chapters on 820 pages) is a beautifully written & richly illustrated book from one of the leading scientist on this field. The 2nd edition is the continuation of the global very successfull 1st edition which is more than only a textbook, I would call
it "THE NANOBIBLE" for Nanotechnology, Nanochemistry & Nanomaterials !!
This book offers you not only knowledge & of course a broad overview about the topic .... if you read it & understand it, you will find out this book is a VISION !! This book will open everybody the door for a fundamental understanding & a insightful perspective on Nanochemistry!! Moreover, nowhere elsein the literature you will find such a compre-hensive & up-to-date look for this field. This is the reason why not only undergraduate & graduate students will find it as an invaluable reference book also researchers, engineers & also business people can profit from it.
This book encourge you to think creatively & to use this fascinating book as a reference for your own work. In conclusion, this wonderful book is a must have for everybody which works & study this field or have a broad interdisciplinary material science interest.
A showcase for nano-just -about-everything - By: Hans Erik Oskar Axelsson, 08 Sep 2007 
I was not very satisfied by this book. I think it has the wrong title. It is not an introduction to what I would call nano-chemistry. I expected much more depth & more focus on the chemistry relating to the nano-scale. The book is a show case of the current status of nano-technologyin general, which is fasinating, but the mismatch between what I wanted & what I got made me rate it rather low. It has hundreds of references, several of which I have now read & the authors covers a huge field, although by necessity, rather superficially. If you want to get an up-to-date overview of nanotechnolgy, read this book. If you want to understand nano-chemistry, read the original literature or one of the more in-depth monographies on the subject.
Nanochemistry not for the faint hearted - By: G. Walters, 28 Jan 2007 
More a book for the chemist already well versedin this subject, those trying to learn from it will find it a difficult read & a bit disjointed from one subject area to the next.
