Short description
Because nanosized particles possess unique properties, nanotechnology is rapidly becoming a major interest in engineering and science. Nanotechnology: Basic Calculations for Engineers and Scientists--a logical follow-up to the author's previous text, Nanotechnology: Environmental Implications and Solutions--presents a practical overview of nanotechnology in a unique workbook format. Nearly 300 problems provide a clear understanding of this growing field in four distinct areas of study: Chemistry fundamentals and principles; Particle technology; Applications; and Environmental concerns.
