Essentials of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology

The book on "Essentials of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology" is designed to give a comprehensive understanding of the subject, starting from the basics. This book covers the entire spectrum of nanoscience and nanotechnology, making it an important resource for students of Materials Science and Engineering. It will serve as a go-to reference for all academics both in science and engineering areas.

The basic approach of this book is to provide general principles and mechanisms that are relevant for understanding of the intriguing properties of all nanoscale materials. First five chapters provide an up-to-date insightful coverage to synthesis of nanomaterials, covering a large number of existing experimental procedures using physical, chemical and lithographic methods. An exclusive chapter has been added on biological synthesis of eco-friendly nanomaterials using bacteria, fungi, yeast, and  plants. Individual chapters have been written to present different nanomaterial characterization techniques elaborately to provide information on the ensemble level and single nanopraticle level. This book is written in a clear pedagogic style with extensive examples and over 300 diagrams to illustrate key points.

In addition to serving as a course text book for all levels of engineering and science students, this book will be an essential reference to students and researchers in Physics, Applied Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Engineering, and Biological Sciences.
