Fundamentals of Nanotechnology

Fundamentals of Nanotechnology
This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors. In January 2010, CHOICE recognized Fundamentals of Nanotechnology as its Outstanding Academic Textbook (OAT), calling this first-of-its-kind nanoscience textbook a comprehensive, highly readable book with extremely high production values, which can be read and appreciated by experts and nonspecialists alike.

Introduction to Nanoscience

Introduction to Nanoscience
Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. This textbook is a full-color masterwork presents an overview of the nanoscale, including characterization and fabrication across chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience.
