The advancement in nanotechnology, specifically the development of novel nanomaterials, is positively impacting human life to overcome global challenges. Therefore, understanding the fundamental properties, limitations, and challenges in synthesizing contemporary nanomaterials (CNMs) is extremely important to bring them from laboratory to market. This book offers detailed insight and the potential of emerging nanomaterials in various engineering applications. The most eye-catching features of CNMs are their electronic, mechanical, optical, and chemical characteristics, which opens numerous avenues to future applications, especially in biomedical, polymers, material construction, biosensors, coatings, petroleum, energy, and environment. The contents of this book are new, and no such book covering the CNMs in engineering application is available. Thus, this will be a useful reference book for researchers, scientists, and students, studying and working with nanomaterials for engineering applications.  weiterlesen
