Description
Nanotechnology is a technology on the verge of commercialization. In this important work, an unrivalled team of international experts
provides an exploration of the emerging nanotechnologies that are poised to make the nano-revolution a reality in the manufacturing sector.
From their different perspectives, the contributors explore how developments in nanotechnology are transforming areas as diverse as medicine,
advanced materials, energy, electronics and agriculture.
Key topics covered include:
- Characterization of nanostructures
- Bionanotechnology
- Nanoelectronics
- Micro- and nanomachining
- Self-assembly techniques
- New
applications of carbon nanotubes
- Environmental and health impacts
This book provides an important and in-depth
guide to the applications and impact of nanotechnology to different manufacturing sectors. As such, it will find a broad readership,
from R&D scientists and engineers to venture capitalists.
