Pignataro (physical chemistry, University of Palermo, Italy) gathers award-winning research projects from the 2006 Young European Chemists Award Competition. All featured scientists were recognized for presenting the most promising and innovative research in a broad range of fields. The winning selections reflect major trends in such emerging areas as green chemistry, nanotechnology, total synthesis of natural products, synthetic methods, medicinal chemistry, protein biochemistry, and polymer science. The first part of the book deals with self-organization, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and soft matter 3D organization. The second part looks at organic synthesis, catalysis, and materials. The final section covers health, food, and the environment. The book will be of interest to physical and organic chemists, materials scientists, and biochemists.
