Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2/e (Hardcover)

Explore foundational and advanced topics in nanoscience with this intuitive introduction

In the newly revised Second Edition of Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, renowned researcher Dr. Chris Binns delivers an accessible and broad-based treatment of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Beginning with the fundamental physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and nanostructures, the book moves on to discuss how these properties can be exploited to produce high-performance materials and devices.

Following chapters explore naturally occurring nanoparticles and artificially engineered carbon nanoparticles, their mechanical properties, and their applications in nanotechnological science. Both design ideologies for manufacturing nanostructures--bottom-up and top-down--are examined, as is the idea that the two methodologies can be combined to allow for the imaging, probing, and manipulation of nanostructures.

A survey of the current state of nanotechnology rounds out the text and introduces the reader to a variety of novel and exciting applications of nanoscience. The book also includes:

• A thorough introduction to the importance and impact of particle size on the magnetic, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials
• Comprehensive explorations of carbon nanostructures, including bucky balls and nanotubes, and single-nanoparticle devices
• Practical discussions of colloids and nanoscale interfaces, as well as nanomechanics and nanofluidics
• In-depth examinations of the medical applications of functional nanoparticles, including the treatment of tumors by hyperthermia and medical diagnosis

Perfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and engineering, Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology will also earn a place in the libraries of early-career and established researchers with professional or personal interests in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

以直觀的方式探索納米科學的基礎和高級主題

在重新修訂的第二版《納米科學與納米技術導論》中，著名研究者Chris Binns博士提供了一個易於理解且廣泛的納米科學和納米技術介紹。從納米顆粒和納米結構的基本物理化學性質開始，本書進一步討論了如何利用這些性質來生產高性能材料和器件。

接下來的章節探討了自然生成的納米顆粒和人工製造的碳納米顆粒，它們的機械性質以及在納米科技科學中的應用。本書還探討了製造納米結構的兩種設計思想：自下而上和自上而下，並提出了這兩種方法可以結合起來實現對納米結構的成像、探測和操作的觀點。

本書還對納米技術的現狀進行了調查，並向讀者介紹了各種新穎且令人興奮的納米科學應用。本書還包括：

- 對粒子尺寸對材料的磁性、機械性和化學性質的重要性和影響的全面介紹
- 對碳納米結構（包括富勒烯和納米管）和單顆粒器件的深入探討
- 對膠體和納米尺度界面以及納米力學和納米流體力學的實用討論
- 對功能性納米顆粒在醫學應用中的深入研究，包括通過高溫療法治療腫瘤和醫學診斷

《納米科學與納米技術導論》非常適合材料科學和工程的高年級本科生和研究生，同時也適合對納米科學和納米技術有興趣的初級和資深研究人員的圖書館收藏。
