American Chemical Society, 2003. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Mesoscale describes structures and behaviors at lengths between nanometers and 0.1 micrometers--too large for molecular or atomic characterization methods, but too small to be fully characterized by their bulk behavior or modeled using continuum models. Phenomena at that scale, however, determine the properties of many scientifically and commercially important materials, and it is primarily to industrial research scientists working with such ... more information
