Contents:
NANOMATERIALS AND NANOTECHNOLOGIES: AN OVERVIEW -- Nanoworlds -- An Evolutionary Perspective -- UNDERSTANDING NANOMATERIALS AND ANOSTRUCTURES -- Basic characteristics of Nanomaterials -- Nanomaterial Forms -- Synthesis -- Characterizing and Measuring -- Properties of Nanomaterials and Nanostructures -- DESIGNING WITH NANOMATERIALS AND NANOSTRUCTURES -- Design Processes and Objectives -- Designing with Nanomaterials in -- Major Application Domains -- FUTURES -- The Broader Context -- Design Futures.
Summary: How could nanotechnology not perk the interest of any designer, engineer or architect? Exploring the intriguing new approaches to design that nanotechnologies offer, Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design is set against the sometimes fantastic sounding potential of this technology. Nanotechnology offers product engineers, designers, architects and consumers a vastly enhanced palette of materials and properties, ranging from the profound to the superficial. It is for engineering and design students and professionals who need to understand enough about the subject to apply it with real meaning to their own work.
