About this book
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 in this 4 volume set 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

Reviews
From the reviews:
“Find thoughtful articles on nanotechnology concepts and how they relate to the world, written by experts in the field. Readers will find answers to questions on topics such as the fate of nanoparticles when they enter the body, and why an owl is able to fly completely silently. … is targeted for graduate students through professionals, but would be a useful reference for upper-level undergraduates who need a starting point for understanding various nanotechnology concepts and applications. Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (N. M. Fahrenkopf, Choice, Vol. 50 (6), February, 2013)
“The Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology … covers a vast array of subjects from a wide variety of academic disciplines and emerging industries. … is unquestionably more comprehensive in its coverage and the treatment of the subjects covered is more complete; it is also much better illustrated. … In short the Encyclopedia of Nanotechnology is strongly recommended for libraries serving institutions with research or educational programmes in nanotechnology and well worth its reasonable price to libraries.” (Joel Cummings, Reference Reviews, Vol. 27 (4), 2013)
