The world is facing great challenges in meeting rising demands for
basic commodities (e.g., food, water, and energy), finished goods
(e.g., cell phones, cars and airplanes) and services (e.g.,
shelter, healthcare and employment) while reducing and minimizing
the impact of human activities on Earth's global environment and
climate. Nanotechnology has emerged as a versatile platform that
could provide efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally
acceptable solutions to the global sustainability challenges facing
society. This volume is devoted to the utilization of
nanotechnology to improve or achieve sustainable development.
Recent advances are highlighted and opportunities of utilizing
nanotechnology to address global challenges in water purification,
clean energy, greenhouse gas management, materials
supply/utilization and manufacturing are discussed. Also, societal
perspectives are addressed and an outlook of the role of
nanotechnology in the convergence of knowledge, technology and
society for achieving sustainable development is provided.This book
offers a thematic collection of papers previously published in the
Journal of Nanoparticle Research."
