Over the last twenty years, self-assembly has emerged as a distinct science\/technology field, going well beyond the classical surfactant and block copolymer molecules, and encompassing much larger and complex molecular, biomolecular and nanoparticle systems. Within its ten chapters, each contributed by pioneers of the respective research topics, the book:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses the fundamental physical chemical principles that govern the formation and properties of self-assembled systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes important experimental techniques to characterize the properties of self-assembled systems, particularly the nature of molecular organization and structure at the nano, meso or micro scales.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides the first exhaustive accounting of self-assembly derived from various kinds of biomolecules including peptides, DNA and proteins. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines methods of synthesis and functionalization of self-assembled nanoparticles and the further self-assembly of the nanoparticles into one, two or three dimensional materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores numerous potential applications of self-assembled structures including nanomedicine applications of drug delivery, imaging, molecular diagnostics and theranostics, and design of materials to specification such as smart responsive materials and self-healing materials.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights the unifying as well as contrasting features of self-assembly, as we move from surfactant molecules to nanoparticles. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for students and academic and industrial scientists and engineers, by pioneers of the research field, \u003ci\u003eSelf-Assembly: From Surfactants to Nanoparticles\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive resource on diverse self-assembly systems, that is simultaneously introductory as well as the state of the art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRAMANATHAN NAGARAJAN,\u003c\/b\u003e Emeritus Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University, served on the faculty from 1979 until 2005.
