This book will provide a timely review of both what is known and the exciting prospects provided by calixarenes in this field. The book will comprise several review articles defining the importance of calixarenes as reagents in nanochemistry. It is expected that Calixarenes in the Nanoworld will be well-received by: universities, research institutions, industries engaged in the production of high-tech materials.
