Nanotechnology [PDF ebook] 
Basic Calculations for Engineers and Scientists

A practical workbook that bridges the gap between theory and
practice in the nanotechnology field
Because nanosized particles possess unique properties,
nanotechnology is rapidly becoming a major interest in engineering
and science. Nanotechnology: Basic Calculations for Engineers and
Scientists-a logical follow-up to the author’s previous text,
Nanotechnology: Environmental Implications and Solutions-presents a
practical overview of nanotechnology in a unique workbook
format.
The author has developed nearly 300 problems that provide a clear
understanding of this growing field in four distinct areas of
study:
* Chemistry fundamentals and principles
* Particle technology
* Applications
* Environmental concerns
These problems have been carefully chosen to address the most
important basic concepts, issues, and applications within each
area, including such topics as patent evaluation, toxicology,
particle dynamics, ventilation, risk assessment, and manufacturing.
An introduction to quantum mechanics is also included in the
Appendix. These stand-alone problems follow an orderly and logical
progression designed to develop the reader’s technical
understanding.
‘This is certain to become the pacesetter in the field, a text to
benefit both students of all technical disciplines and practicing
engineers and researchers.’
-Dr. Howard Beim, Professor of Chemistry, U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy
‘Dr. Theodore has covered most of the important nanotechnology
subject matter in this …work through simple, easy-to-follow
problems.’
-John Mc Kenna, President and CEO, ETS, Inc.
