Minerals as Advanced Materials II

It is the idea of this series of books to provide an arena for interdisciplinary discussion on minerals as advanced materials. Many important materials that dominate modern technological development were known to mineralogists for hundreds of years, though their properties were not fully recognized.. It will include reviews, perspective papers and original research papers on mineral nanostructures, biomineralization, micro- and nanoporous mineral phases as functional materials, physical and optical properties of minerals, etc.This book is a collection of papers that are devoted to various aspects of interactions between mineralogy and material sciences. Mineralogy, on the other hand, needs new impacts for the
