The book highlights the various types of nanomaterials and their applications in the three major sectors energy, health and environment. Specifically, it covers the different aspects of nanotechnology based on the fact that it is possible to tailor the structures of materials at extremely small scales to achieve specific properties, thus greatly extending the materials science toolkit. This book is basically intended to address the holistic approach in terms of nanomaterial applications by taking into consideration various stake holders using nanomaterials. Includes the several applications of nanomaterials to improve the environment and to produce more efficient and cost-effective energy, as generating less pollution during the manufacture of materials, producing solar cells that generate electricity at a competitive cost, cleaning up organic chemicals polluting groundwater, clearing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from air, and so forth. The content of this book is suitable for professionals, students and researchers from different disciplines such as material science/engineering, polymer science, composite technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology etc, working on nanomaterials and nanocomposites.weiterlesen
