Overview

Nanotechnology is the first of its kind. This text is monumental for both the professional and student looking to gain better insight into advance material science and engineering, high-performance systems and components. Its content offers a concise overview of the fundamental physics and chemistry of materials at the nano-scale. The author focuses this text on the most current information to supply a superior industrial research linked with all major classes of Nanomaterials. Using the same successful formula for searching out key authorities in a various fields of scientific and engineering interest, the text will survey leading scientists and engineers to create a modest-sized, single-volume compendium on the latest advances in nano-scale materials, technologies for materials characterization and the newest applications for nano-materials. Nanotechnology is the ability to assemble objects and structures atom by atom. This process could be essential in enhancing the quality of various products, as far as creating new and significant technology. By exploiting advances in scientific measurement and enhancing the ability to manipulate material at this scale, scientists and engineers have found ever increasing uses for nano-sized metals, polymers, and ceramics to create new functional materials, better coatings, better fluid flow, and a host of other improvements to everyday components and manufactured goods and systems. Each section will be authored by key authorities for that particular area, with strong reliance on current industrial research and applications. It will cover the current state of development of all major classes of nanomaterials, with information on latest instrumentation for materials characterization at the nano-scale, including new advances in electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). This is the first truly broad survey of all current major types of nano-scaled materials to be found all in one published book.
