Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Chris Binns,

About this book

Explore foundational and advanced topics in nanoscience with this intuitive introduction

In the newly revised Second Edition of Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, renowned researcher Dr. Chris Binns delivers an accessible and broad-based treatment of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Beginning with the fundamental physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and nanostructures, the book moves on to discuss how these properties can be exploited to produce high-performance materials and devices.

Following chapters explore naturally occurring nanoparticles and artificially engineered carbon nanoparticles, their mechanical properties, and their applications in nanotechnological science. Both design ideologies for manufacturing nanostructures—bottom-up and top-down—are examined, as is the idea that the two methodologies can be combined to allow for the imaging, probing, and manipulation of nanostructures.

A survey of the current state of nanotechnology rounds out the text and introduces the reader to a variety of novel and exciting applications of nanoscience. The book also includes:

A thorough introduction to the importance and impact of particle size on the magnetic, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials
Comprehensive explorations of carbon nanostructures, including bucky balls and nanotubes, and single-nanoparticle devices
Practical discussions of colloids and nanoscale interfaces, as well as nanomechanics and nanofluidics
In-depth examinations of the medical applications of functional nanoparticles, including the treatment of tumors by hyperthermia and medical diagnosis

Perfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering, Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology will also earn a place in the libraries of early-career and established researchers with professional or personal interests in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
