This full-colored introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology in particular addresses the needs of engineers who need to know the special phenomena and potentials, without getting bogged down in the scientific detail of the physics and chemistry involved.
Based on the author’s own courses, this textbook shows how to produce nanomaterials and use them in engineering applications for novel products. Following an introduction, the text goes on to treat synthesis, characterization techniques, thermal, optical, magnetic and electronic properties, processing and, finally, emerging applications.
As a second edition the content has been thoroughly revised and updated. Additional topics are now included: graphenes, carbon nanotubes, novel nanocomposite materials, plasmonic phenomena, and nanoelectronics. A sound overview of the ‘nano world’ from an application-oriented perspective.
