A Consumer’s Guide to MEMS & Nanotechnology
Bourne Research LLC, Aug 2007, Pages: 287
The first book to extensively detail how, and why, various types of MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) devices and nanomaterials are being put to use in commercial products, both the public and industry will benefit greatly from this book. With detailed examples of products from nearly 500 companies, A Consumer’s Guide to MEMS & Nanotechnology is an excellent overview of the current state of MEMS and nanotech commercialization. The public will find the conversational approach to a technical, complex topic especially helpful. Organizations involved in the research, manufacture, or use of nanomaterials and MEMS devices will gain insight into the competitive landscape and potential market opportunities.
Summary
Divided into two parts, the first half of the book examines the commercial history of MEMS and nanotechnology, their evolution into the marketplace, and how material science (nanotech) and engineering (MEMS) have become intertwined. Dozens of MEMS devices and nanomaterials are discussed in detail—including how they work, what makes them unique and why they’re useful.
The second half of the book provides countless examples of real-life applications of MEMS and nanotechnology in cars, homes, consumer electronics, cosmetics/personal care, clothing/footwear, jewelry/accessories, sporting goods, healthcare/medicine, food production, oil exploration and more.
Back Cover
Are you curious why sunscreen, which used to be white, is now clear? How motion-sensing video games work? Why your car knows when to deploy the airbags? How liquids bead up and roll off some surfaces? Why silver nanoparticles are such a big deal?
A Consumer's Guide to MEMS & Nanotechnology takes you into the micro-world (and beyond) where you'll discover an amazing range of unimaginably small sensors, structures, materials and more. Explore what they do and how they work; then learn why they're making everyday products smaller, smarter, lighter, stronger and more unique than ever before.
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians were among the first to use nanoparticles in cosmetics? That MEMS sensors can monitor pressure--right inside your heart? Find out where the technologies of tomorrow are being applied in real products today.
