Perspectives of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Trans Tech Publications Inc, October 2008, Pages: 230

Selected, peer reviewed papers from Acta Materialia Gold Medal Workshop, E-MRS Fall Meeting, Warsaw University of Technology, 17th – 21st September, 2007

This collection highlights the frontiers of current research in nanotechnology. The scope of the work, Perspectives of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, focuses on the presentation of the current status of the science and technology in various aspects, giving examples of industrial and commercial applications and other invaluable information that could facilitate decisions and indicate future directions of research.

The contents are divided into:
- Nanostructures for Photonics
- Oxide Nanostructures
- Carbon Nanostructures
- Nanostructures for Medicine
- Bulk Metal Nanostructures
- and constitute a useful guide to these topics
