Nanotechnology [PDF ebook] 
Global Strategies, Industry Trends and Applications

The rapid growth of miniaturisation to meet the demand for
increasingly smart devices is driving global investment in a wide
range of industries such as IT, electronics, energy, biotechnology
and materials science.

Nanotechnology: Global Strategies, Industry Trends and
Applications, written by experts from Asia, Europe and the USA,
gives a comprehensive and important global perspective on
nanotechnology.

The book is divided into 3 parts:

* National Nanotechnology Initiatives in Asia, Europe and the
USAexplores the current status of nanotechnology in China,
Korea, Europe and the USA.

* Investing in Nanotechnology provides practical
information about the opportunities and risks involved in
nanotechnology and predictions for future growth.

* Frontiers of Nanotechnology discusses future
applications of the technology and the real-world issues
surrounding these.

Outlining developing trends, emerging opportunities, associated
risks and future applications, this book is essential reading for
professionals, prospective investors and policy makers who need an
accessible introduction to the topic.
