Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings: Biomedical, Environmental, and Energy Applications offers core and advanced information about various nanomaterials and their synthetic approaches to nanostructured coatings. The book focuses on the application of multifunctional nanostructured coatings (MNCs) in the areas of biomedicine, the environment, and energy, and presents the latest advances in the design, preparation, characterization, and fabrication of MNCs. Techniques covered in the book include chemical deposition (including plasma-assisted deposition) and physical deposition methods such as magnetron sputtering, arc evaporation, electron-beam evaporation, and ion-beam sputtering.

In addition, the book also explores the use of multifunctional ZnO/TiO2 nanoarray composite coatings, Ta- and Si-doped multifunctional bioactive nanostructured films, in situ-generated titanium-oxo clusters, and silver nanoparticles. It will be useful for researchers working in the areas of materials science, coating technologies, nanotechnology, sustainability, and environmental engineering.
