Nanotechnology to Nanomedicine. Positives, Perils and Prospects

      Аннотация: This is one of the best University level textbooks for introducing nanotechnology and nanomedicine to students. It covers a wide range of topics with an in-depth explanation of fundamental concepts. The book offers an overview of structure property-functional relationships, synthesis and purification, and potential applications of nanotechnology. It discusses the various ethical and public health concerns that are associated with the deployment of nanotechnology applications as nanomedicine and offers a perspective on the overall prospects, which if harnessed properly, could turn the fortunes of most economies.The collection of topics has been carefully chosen to reflect the diversity of recent advances in nanotechnology with a broad perspective which will be useful for scientists as well as graduate students and engineers.Even for more advanced students and professors, this book is good as an icebreaker for details on nanoscience and nanomedicine sub-topics.
