 Description:

THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE EDITED BOOK INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

Nanotechnology is a field that has been developed some decades ago, and has been expanding rapidly; the importance of this science came from the combination of synthetic chemistry to fabricate nanoscale building blocks that could be functional on their own, or in combination with other materials. Recently, industries have commenced to exploit and make use of nanotechnology; new devices have been fabricated and used, e.g. new processors, fuel cells, energy storage devices in batteries, LEDs and photoelectrochemical cells.
