Preface
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are a fast growing and dynamic areas, which include novel class of materials that are being developed for various applications. Nanotechnology has immense potential in almost every field of science and technology, primarily due to their size and/or shape dependent intrinsic physicochemical, optoelectronic, catalytic and biological properties and greater surface area. As some may know, modern nanotechnology originated in the year 1959 after
