With recent advancements in electronics, specifically nanoscale
devices, new technologies are being implemented to improve the
properties of automated systems. However, conventional materials
are failing due to limited mobility, high leakage currents, and
power dissipation. To mitigate these challenges, alternative
resources are required to advance electronics further into the
nanoscale domain. Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors are a
potential solution yet lack the information and research to be
properly utilized. Major Applications of Carbon Nanotube
Field-Effect Transistors (CNTFET) is a collection of innovative
research on the methods and applications of converting
semiconductor devices from micron technology to nanotechnology. The
book provides readers with an updated status on existing CNTs,
CNTFETs, and their applications and examines practical applications
to minimize short channel effects and power dissipation in
nanoscale devices and circuits. While highlighting topics including
interconnects, digital circuits, and single-wall CNTs, this book is
ideally designed for electrical engineers, electronics engineers,
students, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and
practitioners working in nanoscience, nanotechnology, applied
physics, and electrical and electronics engineering.
Nanotechnology in Textiles: Theory and Application explains how
conventional methods for treating fabrics for specific functions
can by improved upon with the use of nanotechnology. Overviews of
relevant, fundamental nanophysics and nanochemistry theory are
provided, along with explanations of their application in textile
finishing, providing a crucial resource for readers exploring this
expanding frontier in textiles. The book draws on research from
around the globe to address the latest nanotechnological
developments that are all examined with references to industrial
applications.
Molecular Sensors and Nanodevices: Principles, Designs and
Applications in Biomedical Engineering, Second Edition is designed
to be used as a foundational text, aimed at graduates, advanced
undergraduates, early-career engineers and clinicians. The book
presents the essential principles of molecular sensors, including
theories, fabrication techniques and reviews. In addition,
important devices and recently, highly-cited research outcomes are
also cited. This differentiates the book from other titles on the
market whose primary focus is more research-oriented and aimed at
more of a niche market.
Reduced Order Models for the Biomechanics of Living Organs, a new
volume in the Biomechanics of Living Organisms series, provides a
comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in biomechanical
computations using reduced order models, along with a deeper
understanding of the associated reduction algorithms that will face
students, researchers, clinicians and industrial partners in the
future. The book gathers perspectives from key opinion scientists
who describe and detail their approaches, methodologies and
findings. It is the first to synthesize complementary advances in
Biomechanical modelling of living organs using reduced order
techniques in the design of medical devices and clinical
interventions, including surgical procedures. This book provides an
opportunity for students, researchers, clinicians and engineers to
study the main topics related to biomechanics and reduced models in
a single reference, with this volume summarizing all biomechanical
aspects of each living organ in one comprehensive reference.
