Foreword
I am delighted to write foreword for the book entitled Nanotechnology for Defence Applications authored by Dr. Narandra Kumar and Dr. Ambesh Dixit. One of the authors Dr. Narendra Kumar is well known to me for more than a decade while we worked at Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) in different capacities. He is well known for his work in the area of Advanced Materials, including Nanomaterials for Defence Technologies at DRDO laboratories. Dr. Ambesh Dixit, an associate professor, is a young faculty at IIT Jodhpur working on fundamental and applied aspects of nanotechnology. At a glance, starting from its title, the book makes a very interesting reading. It is amazing that authors have correlated the materials of different ages, beginning from Stone Age to the modern age of advanced materials, to the contemporary development of defence technologies. They have beautifully introduced a chapter on the basic and applied aspect of nanotechnology which should help any reader to understand the emerging area of nanoscience considered to be one among the three most impacting technologies on society in the present and future.
