Provides a structured and interdisciplinary overview of nanoscience, integrating the physical, chemical, and biological foundations that define nanomaterials. The book offers in-depth coverage of topics including the physics of nanomaterials (quantum effects, molecular and atomic structures, and size-dependent properties), the chemistry of nanomaterials (synthesis routes, morphology, and surface modification), and nanobiotechnology (cell-nanomaterial interactions, nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery, and biocompatibility). It further details advanced characterization techniques such as microscopy (SEM, TEM, AFM), spectroscopy, magnetic and electrical measurements, and analytical methodologies for assessing nanomaterial behavior in environmental and biological systems. Dedicated chapters address nanotoxicology, biosafety, and environmental nanotechnology, emphasizing responsible research and sustainable applications.
By combining theoretical concepts with case studies and experimental insights, the book serves as a practical reference for students, researchers, and professionals in nanoscience, materials science, biotechnology, and environmental engineering. It supports both academic study and applied research aimed at developing safe and innovative nanotechnological solutions.
