About the Book and Audience
Nanotechnology has impacted all aspects of science and technology. A large number of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been developed in the recent years, which have expanded the application horizons significantly. Though a number of challenges are needed to be resolved in order to achieve large scale commercial applications, however, it is envisaged that the recent research developments in this field will lead to high-performance, safe and environmentally friendly materials and processes capable of replacing the conventional materials. The purpose of this book is to assimilate the recent advances in the field of nanotechnology in terms of material development and applications in diverse fields such as catalysis, desalination, sensing, automobiles, aerospace, construction, etc.
The book is a valuable reference for materials, mechanical, chemical and biochemical engineers, as well as practicing scientists and researchers in both academia and industry. It is a useful resource for postgraduate university students in materials, mechanical and chemical disciplines, along with interdisciplinary streams.
