Nanotechnologies: Concepts, Processing and Applications
describes and explains how nanotechnologies have entered our
everyday lives through scientific and industrial applications with
the emphasis placed on the new perspectives in various fields
related to societal problems. This book details how successive
discoveries of new nanocarbon structures along with progress in
different microscopy techniques have caused nanomaterials to take
on an increasingly important role in electronics, electrochemical
energy storage – batteries and fuel cells – and the
electrical conversion of solar energy. Views once seen as
futuristic on nanomachines and nanorobotics, therapeutic hopes and
medical advances – such as those resulting from the
application of new in-situ drug-delivery nanotechniques – are
all presented.
The most innovative developments are analyzed in terms of
applications and should enable the reader to form his or her own
opinion about the reality of the progress that can be expected from
nanotechnologies in the near future. The book offers background
reading for teachers in colleges who wish to have an overview on
this subject.
