Description
John Wiley Nanotechnology: Basic Calculations For Engineers And Scientists by Theodore L
This book contains almost 200 solved problems relating to nanotechnology. These problems are divided in four sections: Chemistry Fundamentals and Principles, Particle Technology, Applications, and Environmental Concerns. In addition to the solved examples, each section contains overview coverage of the subject matter. A key feature of the book is that the solutions can be presented in a stand-alone manner, and the problems are laid out to develop the reader's understanding of the subjects.
