Informationen zum Autor Dr. Ramazan Asmatulu is a Full Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Wichita State University in the USA. His current research mainly focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and mechanical properties of various nanomaterials, nanocomposites, and biomaterials for primarily aerospace, energy, environment, and biomedical applications. Klappentext Nanotechnology is a new and emerging discipline that is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The usage of nanosystems, nanomaterials, nano-devices, etc. permeates all aspects of society. Cancer targeting and curing nanosystems are being introduced into the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries; so are lightweight energy absorbing or blast-proof nanohybrid material in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries and high-efficiency energy harvesting nanomaterials, etc. Society has a vested interest in knowing how these new materials, devices and systems are changing the economy and similar landscapes. The book outlines the regulatory and environmental issues related to nanotechnology per industry, offers guidelines in assisting the risks and discusses the legal and socioeconomical issues involved. Case studies will be utilized to provide examples of the positive and negative impacts of nanotechnology. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Nanotechnology Emerging Trends, Markets, and Concerns 2.
