Depending on the targeted application and the deposition technique, these materials have been designed and developed by tuning their atomic-molecular 2D- and/or 3D-aggregation, thickness, crystallinity, and porosity, having effects on their optical, mechanical, catalytic, and conductive properties. Several open questions remain about the impact of nanomaterial production and use on environment and health. Many efforts are currently being made not only to prevent nanotechnologies and nanomaterials from contributing to environmental pollution but also to design nanomaterials to support, control, and protect the environment. This Special Issue aims to cover the recent advances in designing nanostructured films focusing on environmental issues related to their fabrication processes (e.g., low power and low cost technologies, the use of environmentally friendly solvents), their precursors (e.g., waste-recycled, bio-based, biodegradable, and natural materials), their applications (e.g., controlled release of chemicals, mimicking of natural processes, and clean energy conversion and storage), and their use in monitoring environment pollution (e.g., sensors optically- or electrically-sensitive to pollutants)Technology: general issuesbicssc2D growthadsorption energyagaroseAl2O3aqueous dispersionatomic layer depositionAuNPsbarrier materialbiomaterialbiomedicalbiomimetic solvent sensorsbirefringencecarbon nanotubeCaxCoO2CdTeCERAMIS®chemosensorchiralitycoatingcomposite gelcorrosiondepositionDFTelectrical conductivityelectrical propertieselectrocatalysiselectrodepositionelectron-phonon couplingelectrospinning depositionepitaxial growthFe3O4FeOFIBfirst-principles calculationgalvanic displacementGe surface engineeringgraphene oxideH2TPPhazardous organic solventshighly oriented pyrolytic graphitehomogeneityhybrid deposition systemhybrid materialhydrogelhydrogenated amorphous carbon filmsInAlNinkinterfacial energyinterfacial modeliridescenceiron oxidesKr physisorptionLa2O3 passivation layerlaminationLDHLEEDLEEMlight trappingluminous transmittancelysozymemaskmechanical flexibilitymercury vapors adsorbing layermesoporousmesoporous graphenemetal-organic frameworkmetallic nanoparticlesmetamaterialMg alloyMgOmicroparticle depositionmicroscopymodel systemmodulation structuremonomer synthesisMueller matrixnanocoating of SiOxnanocomposite conductive polymersnanocompositesnanocrystalline cellulosenanofibernanofibersnanofibrous membranesnanoscratchnanospiralnanostructurenanostructured back reflectorsnanostructured filmsoptical transmittancePA-PVDPAS devicePECVDpermeationphase transformationphase transition performancephotocatalysisphotonic nanostructuresphotovoltaicsplasma depositionplasma irradiationplatinumpolar semiconductorspoly(dimethylacrylamide)polyhydroxibutyratepolymer nanoparticlespolymeric matrixpolystyrenepolystyrene sphere assisted lithographypost-treatmentpowdersPt thin depositsPVDquantum confinementRaman scatteringReB2/TaN multilayersreinforcedrod coatingrutheniumscaffoldsself-assemblyself-catalysedSEMsilicon thin filmsilk sericinsilverSLRRSorpTestspin coatingsputteringSTMstructural characterizationsymmetrythermal analysisthin filmthin filmsTiO2NPsultrathin filmsUPDvanadium dioxideVOCs selectivitywater filtrationwireswound dressingXPEEMXPSzinc oxideTechnology: general issuesCavaliere Saraauth1328956Macagnano AntonellaauthDe Cesare FabrizioauthBOOK9910404083003321Design and Development of Nanostructured Thin Films3039223UNINA
