Advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find the book a source of knowledge for their studies.
Description
Nearly every field of science and technology has been inspired by the tools and ideas of nanotechnology and this innovation continues to be made in a range of fields and applications. This book introduces the reader to the use of nanotechnology to preserve water resources, improve water quality, as well as the social inferences therein that may affect approval or extensive usage.
The contributors to the book have been selected from all over the world and the essential functions of the nanotechnologies have been presented rather than their anticipated applications. Moreover, up-to-date knowledge on the economy, toxicity and regulatory issues related to nanotechnology are presented in detail. The role of nanotechnology for a green and sustainable future is also debated.
This important and unique book:
• Is the first book that covers real-time applications of nanotechnology for sustainable water resources;
• Provides a better understanding of the properties, structure, and fabrication methods of nanomaterials that is really required to utilize them for sustainable water resources;
• Presents computer modeling methods which are crucial to the development of design strategies for these next generation materials.
