Nanoparticles have a smaller size as compared to their micro, macro
or bulk counterparts. Reduction in size of these particles provides
them with some unique characteristics, such as surface-to-volume
ratio, quantum confinement effect, surface plasmon response,
widening of band gap, etc. These nanoparticles have attracted
attention of scientists all over the globe in last few decades.
Nanomaterials are a requirement of the day as their use is pushing
a number of bulk materials out of use. These have numerous
applications in varied fields like solar cells, food industries,
targeted gene and drug delivery, medical imaging, polymeric
materials, sensors, treatment of water, soil and air pollution,
etc. Written in a convenient and easy-to-read style, this book
covers the important aspects of nanomaterials by focusing on the
many issues related to food and textile industries, treatment of
polluted water, health, energy crises, targeted drug delivery, etc.
The editors take an interdisciplinary approach to discussing how
the scenario will change on a global level in the future and
explore when these nanomaterials will replace almost all micro- and
macromaterials. The Science of Nanomaterials is a ready-at-hand
guide to the many issues related to the use of nanomaterials in
drug and gene delivery, sensors, photosplitting of water,
wastewater treatment, microbial diagnosis, textile industries,
nanocomposites, food industries (safety, security, packaging and
preservation), etc. that will be valuable to students at all levels
as well as a refresher for scientists, researchers, policymakers,
and others.
