1.2 The aims and objectives of this study

Civilization is rapidly overcoming scientific difficulties and barriers one after the other. In a similar vein, chemical engineering and nanotechnology are avenues of new scientific and engineering ingenuity. The main aims and objectives of this study are to depict profoundly the scientific need for nanomaterials and engineered nanomaterials in building science and throughout society. Nanomanufacturing is another area of research in this chapter. Scientific advances, deep scientific fortitude, and the futuristic vision of nanotechnology will slowly unravel the success of science and engineering applications in society. Technological impasse and engineering barriers are the hallmarks of nanomanufacturing today. The authors reiterate the scientific need for nanomanufacturing in the true realization of nanotechnology and nanoengineering. Environmental remediation and sustainability are critical needs for civilization and the progress of science today. This chapter reveals the world of challenges, the futuristic vision, and alarming areas in environmental protection. One day, the global population will surely usher in a new age in the field of environmental protection and nanotechnology.

1.3 The scientific doctrine of the domain of nanotechnology

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are today replete with huge scientific vision and vast scientific provenance and actions. The scientific doctrine of nanotechnology needs to be redefined as regards environmental remediation and the application of environmental engineering in society. Nanoengineering is the next generation of science. Modern manufacturing and nanomanufacturing are today at the center of this vision. Nanomaterials and engineered nanomaterials have diverse applications in all branches of science and engineering. The future research directions in the field of nanotechnology should be targeted toward greater emancipation in the fields of environmental engineering, chemical process engineering, and petroleum engineering. These areas of scientific research pursuit are critically important [1,2].

New perspectives into the science and engineering of nanomaterials include the areas of environmental protection and environmental engineering science. Nanotechnology is a hallmark of current science. Environmental engineering and chemical process engineering are today at the critical union of vision, fortitude, and ingenuity. Modern manufacturing engineering needs to be bolstered and reorganized. In this chapter, the authors reflect deeply on the areas of manufacturing engineering and nanomanufacturing with a clear vision toward furtherance of science and engineering. Water and wastewater treatment are other areas of scientific vision and endeavor today. In the area of water treatment, nanotechnology plays an important role. Membrane separation processes and other nonconventional environmental engineering techniques are today the subjects of deep scientific integrity and vast scientific enquiry. Chemical process engineering is on the path toward huge leaps forward. Today nanotechnology is integrated with all branches of scientific research. The status of the environment in industrialized and developing nations around the world is as a critical stage. This raises the importance of nanomaterials and nanotechnology. Modern science will be able to open up new doors of innovation and scientific advances in this respect in the future [1,2].

1.5 Nanomanufacturing and the advancement of science

Nanomanufacturing and manufacturing are in the process of being revamping and undergoing vast reorganization. Science and technology in today’s world are highly retrogressive and similarly highly challenged. Environmental protection science needs to be re-envisioned and re-envisaged using scientific progress globally. The advancement of science and the sagacity of engineering science need to be reframed as environmental sustainability confronts major global issues. In this chapter, the authors reiterate the needs of environmental sustainability in the path toward environmental remediation. Today environmental engineering science involves conventional and nonconventional degradation of wastewater techniques. In this section, the authors discuss the needs of nanomanufacturing science in the furtherance of the science of nanotechnology [1,2].

Chryossolouris et al. [3] discussed with vision and scientific integrity nanomanufacturing processes in their critical review. The domain of nanoscale structures, typically below 100 nm, lies dimensionally between that of ordinary, macroscopic or mesoscale products and the other vast world of microdevices. Technological and scientific validation, verve and stance are immensely needed in the pursuit of nanotechnology research today [3]. Nanomanufacturing encompasses processes aimed at building nanoscale structures, devices, and systems in one, two, and three dimensions [3]. This paper reviews and discusses some critical problems of nanomanufacturing from the cost, production rate, quality, and flexibility points of view [3]. Manufacturing products on a small scale is addresses in a number of areas including:

• • miniature writing;
• • computer miniaturization [3];
• • miniature engineering;
• • the need to make design changes [3];
• • surgical and medical uses of miniaturization;
• • quantum devices;
• • direct synthesis of atoms [3]; and
• • the linking of biological sciences and physics [3].

The advancement and sagacity of science and engineering are path-breaking and highly visionary. The authors of this paper describe nanomanufacturing techniques, nanoscale material processing tools, nanomanufacturing drivers, and nanomanufacturing opportunities [3]. The advanced and increasing interest in the research potential as well as research and development funding organizations across the world in the last few years illustrates the need for nanotechnologies in all research initiative sectors globally [3]. From a manufacturing point of view, most of the existing techniques...
