This book covers diverse areas in which nanoscience and
nanotechnology have led to significant technological advances and
practical applications, with special emphasis on novel types of
nanomaterials and their applicability into a new generation of
nano- and micro-devices. Different nanomaterials are reviewed with
a focus on several practical application areas and their commercial
utilization. Production technologies of nanomaterials are presented
as one of the challenges today. Sectors where nanotechnology has
already significantly contributed are presented, along with
specific nanotechnology solutions: energy related sectors,
NEMS/MEMS, micro power generators, spintronics and healthcare. The
basic properties and applications of nanostructured thermoelectric
materials, ferroelectric and piezoelectric nanomaterials are
reviewed. Examples of several developed thin-film thermogenerators
are shown. A review of existing solutions and developing challenges
are given regarding sustainable energy production, photovoltaics,
solar cells, hydrogen economy and improved classes of batteries as
contributions to green products and circular economy. Novel, highly
promising areas in nanotechnology, are shown, such as
voltage-driven nano-spintronics. Recent advances in friction
characterisation at the nano level are described. Several proven
nanomaterials have been reviewed pertaining to biomedicine. The use
of nanomaterials in ophthalmology and cosmetic industry are
reviewed, and the potential for silver nanoparticles and iron-based
nanomaterials in biomedicine, also with recognised challenges and
possible threats of non-controlled use of nanomaterials. This work
is the result of joint efforts of different companies, academic,
and research institutions participating in WIMB Tempus project,
543898-TEMPUS-1-2013-1-ES-TEMPUS-JPHES, "Development of Sustainable
Interrelations between Education, Research and Innovation at WBC
Universities in Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials where
Innovation Means Business", co-funded by the Tempus Programme of
the European Union.
