Smart and intelligent nanomaterials are currently in sharp focus in materials research as their properties are increasingly becoming more understood. This large and fairly comprehensive volume includes thirty chapters divided into four main areas: Inorganic materials, organic materials, composite materials, and biomaterials. It covers the latest research and developments in smart nanomaterials: processing, properties, and applications. Included are molecular device materials, biomimetic materials, hybrid-type functionalized polymers-composite materials, information-and energy-transfer materials, as well as environmentally friendly materials.

Ashutosh Tiwari is an assistant professor of nanobioelectronics at Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre, IFM-Linköping University as well as Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Materials Letters.

Ajay K. Mishra is a senior lecturer at the Nanomaterials Research Centre, Department of Chemical Technology, University of Johannesburg, South Africa.

Hisatoshi Kobayashi is the group leader of Biofunctional Materials at Biomaterials Centre, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan.

Anthony P.F. Turner is the Head of Division at IFM-Linköping and created the Centre for Biosensors and Bioelectronics. Prior to this he was the Principal of Cranfield University in the UK. He is the Editor-In-Chief of the principal journal in his field, Biosensors & Bioelectronics, which he co-founded in 1985.
