Introducing the fields of nanomaterials and devices and their applications across a wide range
of academic disciplines and industry sectors Donglu Shi bridges knowledge acquisition and
practical work providing a starting point for the research and development of applications.
The book describes characterization of nanomaterials their preparation methods and performance
testing techniques the design and development of nano-scale devices and the applications of
nanomaterials with examples taken from different industry sectors such as lighting energy
bioengineering and medicine medical devices. Key nanomaterial types are covered such as
carbon nanotubes nanobiomaterials nano-magnetic materials semiconductor materials and
nanocomposites. Shi also provides detailed coverage of key emerging technologies such as DNA
nanotechnology and spintronics. The resulting text is equally relevant for advanced students
(senior and graduate) and for engineers and scientists from a variety of different academic
backgrounds working in the multi-disciplinary field of nanotechnology.
