Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings

Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings by Manviri Rani, Uma Shanker presents a compelling, contemporary roadmap to the science and engineering of next-generation surface solutions. From the first page, this book hooks readers with clear explanations of how nanoscale architecture transforms conventional coatings into smart, multifunctional layers for real-world use.

Readers gain a deep, accessible exploration of synthesis and deposition strategies—CVD, PVD, sol-gel, electrochemical methods and atomic layer deposition—paired with practical guidance on characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, XPS and AFM. The authors link theory to practice with examples of corrosion-resistant, antibacterial, self-cleaning, anti-icing and optical nanocoatings, showing how tailored surface chemistry and morphology achieve targeted performance in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and construction applications.

This volume stands out for its balanced mix of rigorous science and application-driven insights. Engineers and researchers will appreciate treatment of scale-up challenges, durability testing, and environmental considerations, while graduate students will find clear pathways from lab concepts to industrial implementation. Case studies and comparative analyses help professionals select materials and processes for specific operational environments—whether for harsh marine conditions, sterile medical devices, or energy-efficient building façades.

Compact yet comprehensive, Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings is an essential reference for anyone working in surface engineering and nanocoatings across India, Europe, North America and beyond. If you need a single authoritative source that connects nanoscale design to practical coating performance, this book delivers.
