Nanotechnology: Volume 2: Environmental Aspects

Research on the nanoscale has led to the development of completely novel materials that will undoubtedly find numerous applications. with eight volumes plus an index, the Nanotechnology series collates the entire academic knowledge on this multidisciplinary topic, linking current and future uses in engineering, electronics, medical and life sciences, chemistry, materials science and analysis.
Volume I: Principles and Fundamentals (Editor: Gunter Schmid).
Volume 2: Environmental Aspects (Editor: Harald Krug).
Volume 3: Information Technology I (Editor: Rainer Waser).
Volume 4: Information Technology II (Editor: Rainer Waser).
Volume 5: Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology (Editor: Viola Vogel).
Volume 6: Nanoprobes (Editor: Herald Fuchs).
Volume 7: Light and Energy (Editors: Michael Gratzel and Kuppuswamy Kalyanasundaram).
Volume 8: Nanostructured Surfaces (Editor: Lifeng Chi).
Volume 9: Index.
This second volume in the nine–volume series is concerned with environmental aspects, explaining the risks and benefits of nanotechnology to our planet. As such, the expert authors cover pollution prevention and treatment using nanotechnology as well as the impact of nanomaterials on the environment.
