Foreword
Nanotechnology looks very much on the course to kick-start a new era in science and technology as well as industry in decades to come. The true potential of the nanoscale, if properly exploited, would significantly improve many aspects of human living for the better. In this scenario, nanotechnology education will play a pivotal role in preparing industry and society to fully embrace this new paradigm. The efforts of Sengupta and Sarkar in providing students with a useful resource on this topic under one cover for venturing into the world of nanotechnology are most commendable. A good aspect of this book is that it does not require any prerequisite of detailed knowledge of physics and materials sciences, but rather endeavors to introduce these concepts in a self-contained manner. In this sense, the book strikes a nice balance between the building blocks of n
