New Books

Fragments of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes - Lawrence T. Scott (Editor); Marina A. Petrukhina (Editor); Harold W. Kroto (Foreword by)

ISBN: 9780470569085

Publication Date: 2011

This book is the first of its kind to reflect upon the intense and rapidly growing interest in open geodesic polyaromatic molecules, specifically focusing on their synthesis and reactivity in metal binding reactions. The book broadly covers all aspects related to the fullerene fragment chemistry: current synthetic techniques, description of the available members of this new family (which has grown to more than two dozens members, with none being available commercially), molecular geometry and trends in the solid state packing, as well as extensions into physical properties and new buckybowl-based molecules and materials. It covers fundamental research related to a new of hydrocarbons, namely open geodesic polyarenes that map onto the surfaces of fullerenes (and referred to as “fullerene fragments” or buckybowls).

Graphene Nanoelectronics - Raghu Murali (Editor)

Publication Date: 2012

ebook

Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites - Luc Avérous (Editor); Eric Pollet (Editor)

ISBN: 9781447141013

Publication Date: 2012

Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites focuses on nano-biocomposites, which are obtained by the association of silicates such as bioclays with biopolymers. By highlighting recent developments and findings, green and biodegradable nano-composites from both renewable and biodegradable polymers are explored. This includes coverage of potential markets such as packaging, agricultures, leisure and the fast food industry.The knowledge and experience of more than twenty international experts in diverse fields, from chemical and biochemical engineering to applications, is brought together in four different sections covering:Biodegradable polymers and Silicates,Clay/Polyesters Nano-biocomposites,Clay/Agropolymers Nano-biocomposites, andApplications and biodegradation of Nano-biocomposites.By exploring the relationships between the biopolymer structures, the processes, and the final properties Environmental Silicate Nano-Biocomposites explains how to design nano-materials to develop new, valuable, environmentally friendly properties and uses. The combination of fundamental and applied science makes this an ideal reference for a range of readers from students and lecturers to material and polymer scientists and even industrial engineers who are interested in bringing new environmental nano-materials to the current market.

What is Nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale. (from National Nanotechnology Initiative)

History of Nanotechnology

Richard Feynman was the first scientist to suggest that devices and materials could someday be fabricated to atomic specifications: "The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom." Later the term nanotechnology was coined. Today nanotechnology is reshaping technology. A short History of Nanotechnology from the Foresight Institute.
