Nanotechnologies: Concepts, Processing and Applications describes
and explains how nanotechnologies have entered our everyday lives
through scientific and industrial applications with the emphasis
placed on the new perspectives in various fields related to
societal problems. This book details how successive discoveries
of new nanocarbon structures along with progress in different
microscopy techniques have caused nanomaterials to take on an
increasingly important role in electronics, electrochemical
energy storage – batteries and fuel cells – and the electrical
conversion of solar energy. Views once seen as futuristic on
nanomachines and nanorobotics, therapeutic hopes and medical
advances – such as those resulting from the application of new
in-situ drug-delivery nanotechniques – are all presented.

The most innovative developments are analyzed in terms of
applications and should enable the reader to form his or her own
opinion about the reality of the progress that can be expected
from nanotechnologies in the near future. The book offers
background reading for teachers in colleges who wish to have an
overview on this subject.
