Abstract

This chapter discusses an introduction about nanostructured coatings and their fabrication methods. It starts from basics about nanotechnology and goes through different technologies for synthesis and processing of nanostructured films with focus on size effect in nanometric scale. Detailed discussions about some methods with enough examples were presented in this chapter and fabrication methods of nanostructured films were reviewed. Different parts of this chapter include discussions about nanotechnology, size effect, nanoparticles, thin films, Sol–gel method and applications of nanostructured coatings.
