Upconverting Nanomaterials: Perspectives, Synthesis, and Applications serves as a powerful instrument that explores cutting-edge research knowledge on the topic of upconverting nanosystems, while simultaneously providing the necessary fundamental background for nonspecialist readers. The various aspects of upconverting materials are approached both from a theoretical point of view, particularly upconverting phenomenon, and a practical one. By presenting synthetic strategies, functionalization, production of core shell structures and nanocomposites, this book supplies PhD students, researchers, and scientists with a wealth of ideas they can apply to different fields of research. Thirty-five renowned scientists from around the world have collaborated to produce 11 chapters that help to "make a voyage" through the most important aspects of UPNPs, including syntheses, mechanism, functionalization, and applications.

Claudia Altavilla graduated in chemistry (cum laude) in 2001 and earned her PhD in chemistry in 2006 from the University of Catania, Italy. She worked as a visiting scientist at Ludwig Maximillians Universitat of Munich, Germany with Professor Wolfgang Parak and at the University of Florence, Italy with Professor Dante Gatteschi. From 2006 to 2013, she worked as a research fellow at the NANOMATES Centre of the University of Salerno, Italy. Currently, she is a research fellow at the CNR-IPCB (Institute for Polymers, Composites and Biomaterials), in Portici, Naples, Italy. Her research interests include: biopolymers, upconverting, magnetic, and 2D graphene-like materials for applications in materials science, civil engineering, lubricants, sensors, and biomedicine. She is a referee for international journals on materials science and nanotechnology. Dr. Altavilla is the author of several papers and monographs and holds two international patents. She is also the editor of Inorganic Nanoparticles: Synthesis Applications and Perspectives, CRC, November 2012.

"The editor has done an excellent job in both the selection of authors for the individual chapters and also in the way she has presented the chapters.The authors have written this in a way that someone like me with little knowledge of the area can understand the principles but I believe that someone skilled in the area would also find this useful.This book also provides a very broad reference platform as at the end of each chapter there are excellent, up to date references. You may have realised already, I think this book is well worth the £127 selling price."—Peter Myers, Chromatographia Journal 2017
