Nanotechnology has the potential to play an important role in
increasing the sustainability of a wide range of industrial
sectors. Nanomaterials could contribute to more sustainable
manufacturing through cleaner, less wasteful production processes
and can substitute conventional materials, leading to savings in
raw materials and energy. Nanotechnology for Sustainable
Manufacturing discusses recent progress in the areas of energy and
materials efficiency related to resource savings and conservation
of raw materials, which are drivers for the application of
nanotechnology in the industrial setting. Written by leading
experts from Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, the book
provides an innovative perspective by establishing connections
between the subject areas associated with nanotechnology and by
bridging the academic and industrial research gap. The topics
covered include electronics, agrifood, aerospace, pulp and paper
manufacturing, batteries, catalysts, solar energy, fuel cells,
drinking water, and construction materials. The chapters offer
insights into the diverse industries that are currently or likely
to be impacted by developments in nanotechnology and nanomaterials.
They cover applications such as nanotechnology for alternative
energy generation, improving water quality, and novel uses in
agriculture and forest products. The book also addresses the use of
life-cycle analysis for assessing the sustainability of
nanotechnology-based products and processes.
