Applied nanotechnology: the conversion of research results to products (Third edition.)

'Applied Nanotechnology' takes an integrated approach to the scientific, commercial and social aspects of nanotechnology, exploring the relationship between nanotechnology and innovation, the changing economics and business models required to commercialise innovations in nanotechnology, and product design challenges that are investigated through case studies.

Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy and agriculture are included, as is a section on the role of the government in promoting nanotechnology.

In addition, the potential future of molecular self-assembly in industrial production is discussed, along with the ethics and social implications of nanotechnology.
