Introduction to Nanotechnology - Hardcover

This books take an in-depth approach towards understanding nanotechnology, seeking to provide readers with a one-stop manual on . The subject. It explores comprehensively the hype behind the science, the potential that it offers and the whole rigmarole that comes with it. The book expounds the history, techniques, principles, devices and the future of nanotechnology, with insights also being given on the scope, challenges, opportunities and the advent of this science in our daily life. The effort is to equip readers with an insightful and informative manual and it is hoped that the Endeavour bears fruit by proving highly useful to readers., About The Author:- B.K. Parthasarathy , a well-known teacher and researcher of physics, received his Ph.D quantum physics from England in 1982. He has a strong research background in nanoscience and technology. His areas of special interest include quantum electronic devices, semiconductor devices and materials, molecular-beam epitaxy and semiconductor processing. His research findings have appeared in several journal articles and in the proceedings of international conferences. Dr. Parthasarathy is a honorary member in the advisory bodies of many professional science magazines, and is an active communicator in the media, and at public, education, industry and science forums. He has recognized the importance of initiating nanotechnology and the need to steer their global impact on social, economic, and ethical issues. He has organised a number of seminars of nanotechnology, linking science, governments, industry, investors, international collaborators and civic groups, across the country., Contents:- Preface · Introduction · Nanotechnology Applications · Environmental Applications · Industrial Applications · Nanotechnology for Poverty Reduction · Development of Nanotechnology · Application of Nanomaterials · Nanotechnology in Healthcare · Nanotechnology in Electronics · Nanotechnology in Pollution Control · Bibliography · Index
