Preface
Nanotechnology is a subject that continues to attract considerable public interest, not all of it favorable. Indeed, nanoparticles themselves can, in certain cases, such as those associated with diesel emissions, be considered harmful. However, there are an increasing number of examples of the beneficial deployment of nanoparticles for a variety of different applications ranging from their use in medicine to create novel diagnostics or therapies
