About the Book: Engineering Medicine And Science At The Nano-Scale
Students at universities the world over will benefit from the authors concise
treatment, arising out of lectures given for a graduate and advanced
undergraduate course at Penn State University (USA) and University of Technology
Delft (NL). The textbook begins by addressing, in general terms, the phenomena
and peculiarities that occur at the nanoscale. In the following five chapters,
readers are introduced in detail to nanoscale physics, chemistry, materials
science, and biology, followed by chapters on synthesis and fabrication as well
as characterization at the nanoscale. In the next four chapters a variety of
exemplary applications taken
