Fundamentals of Nanotechnology
Science and Engineering of Nanomaterials

The challenge faced when teaching an introductory "nano" course has been the large difference in backgrounds of the students. This rigorous and self-contained introduction to nanomaterials for students and researchers fills this gap by presenting a basic and interdisciplinary overview of the chemistry and structure of nanomaterials, how they are made, how their properties relate to their nanostructure, and existing and potential uses. Fundamentals of Nanotechnology's descriptive presentation is accessible to senior undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and senior researchers from outside the field.
