Science of Nanomaterials

<p>Nanoparticles have a smaller size as compared to their micro macro or bulk counterparts. Reduction in size of these particles provides them with some unique characteristics such as surface-to-volume ratio quantum confinement effect surface plasmon response widening of band gap etc. These nanoparticles have attracted attention of scientists all over the globe in last few decades.</p><p>Written in a convenient and easy-to-read style this book covers the important aspects of nanomaterials by focusing on the many issues related to the food and textile industries treatment of polluted water health energy crises targeted drug delivery etc. The editors take an interdisciplinary approach to discussing how the scenario will change on a global level in the future and explore when these nanomaterials will replace almost all micro- and macromaterials.</p><p><strong>The Science of Nanomaterials</strong> is a ready-at-hand guide to the many issues related to the use of nanomaterials in drug and gene delivery sensors photosplitting of water wastewater treatment microbial diagnosis textile industries nanocomposites food industries (safety security packaging and preservation) etc.</p>
