n recent years, the subject of nanotechnology applied to engineering has seen a significant growth in both academia and industry. This book presents the fundamental concepts, techniques, and applications of nanotechnology in different engineering fields. It will be of interest to senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemical and materials engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics, and related disciplines, as well as researchers, engineers, and technicians interested in applications of nanotechnology. Each chapter deals with a major aspect of nanotechnology related to synthesis and processing of different types of nanomaterials and their applications, while also presenting the current state of the art and future perspectives. Chapter 1 provides the basic concepts of nanotechnology in
a simple but comprehensive manner. It also presents a historical perspective and the current status of this field. Using a theoretical background, chapter 2 explains the main techniques for characterization of nanoparticle properties, such as morphology, crystal structure, and composition. The different types of nanomaterials are presented and explored in chapter 3. The mechanisms of response to different stimuli of these nanomaterials are discussed, and four potential applications are described: (1) entrapping ability as nanocarriers, (2) biological potential, (3) field-effect transistors, and (4) fieldemission displays. Chapter 4 is devoted to the manufacturing methods and materials for various types of nanosensors for applications in medicine, security, environmental sensing, and industrial sensing. Chapters 5–8 deal with nanoparticles, nanopolymers, carbon nanotubes, and

his is a well-organized, concise introduction to the field of compound semiconductors and their applications in optoelectronic and electronic devices. The fundamental science and technology necessary to understand research in this field is covered in easy-to-read text: short paragraphs, bullet lists of key points, copious figures, and short chapters (typically less than 20 pages). There is a logical flow from
basic properties through process technologies to device applications. The emphasis is on III–V compound semiconductors, particularly gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, and gallium nitride, with the occasional comparison to silicon. Aside from the coverage on gallium nitride, many of the characterization techniques and materials processing methods have been well established and written about for close
nanoshells, respectively. The methods of synthesis, the fundamental properties, and applications of these materials are summarized. Chapter 9 highlights the electronic and electro-optic nanotechnology. Some examples of
