Encyclopaedia of Nanoscience Technology and Engineering

Nanoscience is a newborn discipline that demands a multi-disciplinary scientific education. Encyclopaedia of Nanoscience, Technology and Engineering teaches the basics of physics, biology and chemistry at the nanometer scale, and supplements this with courses on technology and engineering to promote an understanding of practical applications. This is the first encyclopaedia to take a detailed look at one of the key focal points where nanotechnology and polymers meet provides both an introductory view for beginners as well as in-depth knowledge for specialists in the various research areas involved. It investigates all types of application for block copolymers: as tools for fabricating other nanomaterials, as structural components in hybrid materials and nanocomposites, and as functional materials. The multidisciplinary approach covers all stages from chemical synthesis and characterization, presenting applications from physics and chemistry to biology and medicine, such as micro-and nanolithography, membranes, optical labeling, drug delivery, as well as sensory and analytical uses. This encyclopaedia consists of 10 Chapters which provides complete information on the subject Nanotechnology, Working Process of Nanotechnology, Nanorobots, Cellular Nanosensor, Nano Fabrication, Nanomedicine, Lithography, Nanopattering, Nanotechnology Revolution, Applications of Nanotechnology.
