DESCRIPTION:
The book goes on to illustrate the various applications of nanomaterials in electronics, optoelectronics, cosmetics, energy, textiles and the medical field and discusses the environmental impact of these technologies. In closing, Chapter 14, ‘Practicals’, provides a helpful guide to setting up and conducting inexpensive nanotechnology experiments in teaching laboratories. . Given the rapid advances in the field, this book offers an up-to-date introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The size-specific properties of nanomaterials, such as their thermal, mechanical, optical and magnetic characteristics, are discussed in detail. Starting with the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and solid state physics, it presents both physical and chemical synthetic methods, as well as analytical techniques for studying nanostructures. Though condensed into a relatively small volume, it spans the whole range of multidisciplinary topics related to nanote
Good First Intro to Nano Dr. Terrence McGarty This is an exceptionally good introduction to nano technology. It describes some of the fundamentals and then describes the processes whereby one can create nano materials. The discussion of process techniques is comprehensive and at a level readable by persons seeking an introduction but aware of the key factors.The author also provides a good level of effort on applications. The coverage of applications is reasonable but the depth is limited since it is an introduction. My focus is in the medical area and I would have liked to see more discuss
Besides being a life member of various science associations in India, Dr. Sulabha K. Kulkarni started her career in 1977 in the Physics Department of the University of Pune, India, where she established a laboratory in Surface Science, Materials Science and Nanotechnology. Dr. Kulkarni is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences (Bangalore), Indian National Science Academy (Delhi), National Academy of Sciences (Allahabad) and Maharashtra Academy of Sciences. Since 2
