Nanostructured Materials

Book Summary of Nanostructured Materials Nanotechnology is often referred to as a general-purpose technology. That's because in its mature form it will have significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society. It offers better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer, and smarter products for the home, for communications, for medicine, for transportation, for agriculture, and for industry in general. It is sometimes seen as 'the next industrial revolution". It is a revolutionary, transformative and powerful technology. About Author : Dr. Parag Diwan is a high technology buff, having worked with organizations like NASA and Semiconductors Complex Ltd. Different facets of high technology from rocket science to micro-circuits fascinate him. Currently, apart from his other multifariosu interests and responsibilities, he is deeply interested in harnessing the power of ten raised to minus nine (10), i.e. the nano-world. Prof. Ashis Bharadwaj is a co-technology enthusiast and had been the graduate student of Dr. Diwan. He is currently pursuing his PHD in the area of 'Advanced IT Applications'. He is currently the head of 'academic computing department' in the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies and is a practicing consultant in the IT field.
