Synopsis

In most areas of science and engineering, there is research underway related to nanotechnology. However, the research is in different disciplines and the basic and applied research is often not in step. The intent of this book is therefore to connect science and technology under the umbrella of nanoengineering in order to design and build practical and innovative materials and devices from the nanoscale upward. Nanoengineering is fast becoming a cross-cutting ?eld where chemists, physicists, medical doctors, engineers, business managers, and environmentalists work together to improve society through nanotechnology. Nanoscalematerials such as nano-tubes, nano-wires, and nanobelts have extraordinary properties and unique geometric features, but utilizing these properties at the nanoscale and bringing these properties to the macroscale are very challenging problems. Our goal is to provide readers with background in the various areas of research that are needed to develop unique atomically precise multifunctional materials that may be the strongest, lightest, and most versatile materials ever made. The background needed to accomplish this encompasses synthetic chemistry, bio-technology, self-organization, supramolecular self-assembly, nano phased particles, ?lms and ?bers, chemical vapor deposition, oxide evaporation, and various approaches to develop extraordinary strength, toughness, and net shape processing of multifunctional materials and structures. In addition, molecular sensors, active nano omposites, thin ?lm skins, power generation,, high thermal and electrical conductivities, and biomimetics are all discussed with the aim of optimizing materialsystems to monitor their performance and maintain their integrity
