Description
An overview of nanotechnology that encompasses scientific, technological, economic and social issues – investigating the potential
of nanotechnology to transform whole sectors of industry from healthcare to energy. Jeremy Ramsden provides a blueprint for those involved
in the commercialization of nanotechnology.
In Applied Nanotechnology Professor Ramsden takes an integrated approach
to the scientific, commercial and social aspects of nanotechnology, exploring:
- The relationship between nanotechnology and
innovation
- The changing economics and business models required to commercialize innovations in nanotechnology
- Product
design challenges - investigated through case studies
- Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy
and agriculture
- The role of government in promoting nanotechnology
- The potential future of molecular self-assembly
in industrial production
- The ethics and social implications of nanotechnology
As well as providing business models
and practical examples of the innovation process, this book offers a vision of the role of nanotechnology in confronting the challenges
facing humanity, from healthcare to climate change.
