Summary

The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology provides a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary reference to the many fields relevant to the general field of nanotechnology. It aims to be a comprehensive and genuinely international reference work and will be aimed at graduate students, researchers, and practitioners.The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology introduces a large number of terms, devices and processes which are related to the multi-disciplinary field of Nanotechnology. For each entry a 4-10 page description is provided by an expert in the field. Contributions are made by experts from the US, Europe and Asia, making this a comprehensive and truly international Reference Work. The authors are typically from academia, however one quarter of all entries were written by persons from industry.Topics covered in the Reference Work include: Nano- Microfabrication Processes and Materials for Fabrication Nanoscale Measurement Techniques Nanostructures Nanomaterials Nanomechanics Molecular Modeling and Its Role in Advancing Nanotechnology MEMS/NEMS Microfluidics and Nanofluidics Biomedical Engineering and Biodevices Bio/Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine Bio/Nanotechnology for cellular engineering Drug Delivery Technology and Applications Assembly Organic Electronics Nano-optical Devices Micro/nano Integration Materials, Coatings and Surface Treatments for Nanotribology Micro/NanoReliability thermal, mechanical etc. Biomimetics
