This textbook is intended to serve as a reference guide to the interdisciplinary fields of nanomaterials, sensors and biotechnology. It demonstrates functional applications of nanotechnology in diverse areas such as environmental sensing and space habitation, to medical diagnostics and tissue regeneration. With a focus on novel materials synthesis, such as using the nanomanufacturing technique of electrospinning to get the longest nanowires possible, a correlation is made of the effect of chemical, structural, and morphological features to achieve extreme materials functionality. This publication will serve as a manual to nanotechnology for both novices and experts alike, and from the materials scientist to the biophysicist and bioengineer and the medical scientist.
Readership: There is a wide market for such a type of publication. It may be used as a textbook material for a variety of undergraduate/graduate (cross-listed) courses, such as ceramics, chemical sensors, biosensors, fibre technology, nano- and biotechnology. It may be used as a reference manual at scientific research facilities, biotechnology firms, engineering colleges, nanomedicine institutes, etc.
Key Features:
- This book is innovative in that it provides specific examples on how to use nanomaterials to produce advanced functional devices
- Thoroughly addresses the issue of nanowire fabrication and use
- Uniquely addresses sensors and biotechnology, two key topics of nanotechnology
- Merges materials engineering with medicine and the environment
