Applied Nanotechnology

Applied Nanotechnology

An overview of nanotechnology that encompasses scientific, technological, economic and social issues - investigating the potential of nanotechnology to transform whole sectors of industry from healthcare to energy. Jeremy Ramsden provides a blueprint for those involved in the commercialization of nanotechnology.

In Applied Nanotechnology Professor Ramsden 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 commercialize innovations in nanotechnology
  • Product design challenges - investigated through case studies
  • Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy and agriculture
  • The role of government in promoting nanotechnology
  • The potential future of molecular self-assembly in industrial production
  • The ethics and social implications of nanotechnology

As well as providing business models and practical examples of the innovation process, this book offers a vision of the role of nanotechnology in confronting the challenges facing humanity, from healthcare to climate change.
