Nanomaterials: Synthesis and Applications

The 61st volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" contains peer-reviewed papers by the results of the research from the field of synthesis and properties analysis of various nanomaterials and nanostructures for the ecological goals and industrial applications in microelectronics and mechatronics. This volume of the journal will be useful and interesting for a wide range of engineers, scientists, and students whose activity is related to the creation and use of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in different branches of human activity.

The 58th volume of the "Journal of Nano Research" presents readers the collection of peer-reviewed papers by the results of the research from the field of synthesis and the use of various nanomaterials and nanostructures. We hope that this volume of the journal will be useful and interesting for a wide range of engineers, scientists, and students whose activity is related with the creation and using of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in different branches of human activity.

This periodical edition includes peer-reviewed scientific and engineering papers on all aspects of research in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnologies and wide practical application of the achieved results.

Annual Review of Nano Research, Volume 3 focuses mainly on nanofabrication, nanomaterials and nanostructures, and energy application of nanomaterials. All the review chapters are contributed by well-published scientists and bring the most recent advancement in selected topics to the readers. This review volume will serve dual purposes: either as an excellent introduction to scientists whose expertise lie in different fields but who are interested in learning about nanotechnology, or as a quick reference for experts active in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In the last few decades, Spectroscopy and its application dramatically diverted science in the direction of brand new era. This book reports on recent progress in spectroscopic technologies, theory and applications of advanced spectroscopy. In this book, we (INTECH publisher, editor and authors) have invested a lot of effort to include 20 most advanced spectroscopy chapters. We would like to invite all spectroscopy scientists to read and share the knowledge and contents of this book. The textbook is written by international scientists with expertise in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biology and Nanotechnology many of which are active in research. We hope that the textbook will enhance the knowledge of scientists in the complexities of some spectroscopic approaches; it will stimulate both professionals and students to dedicate part of their future research in understanding relevant mechanisms and applications of chemistry, physics and material sciences.

Details the water research applications of nanotechnology in various areas including environmental science, remediation, membranes, nanomaterials, and water treatment At the nano size, materials often take on unique and sometimes unexpected properties that result in them being ‘tuned’ to build faster, lighter, stronger, and more efficient devices and systems, as well as creating new classes of materials. In water research, nanotechnology is applied to develop more cost-effective and high-performance water treatment systems, as well as to provide instant and continuous ways to monitor water quality. This volume presents an array of cutting-edge nanotechnology research in water applications including treatment, remediation, sensing, and pollution prevention. Nanotechnology applications for waste water research have significant impact in maintaining the long-term quality, availability, and viability of water. Regardless of the origin, such as municipal or industrial waste water, its remediation utilizing nanotechnology can not only be recycled and desalinized, but it can simultaneously detect biological and chemical contamination. Application of Nanotechnology in Water Research describes a broad area of nanotechnology and water research where membrane processes (nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and nanoreactive membranes) are considered key components of advanced water purification and desalination technologies that remove, reduce, or neutralize water contaminants that threaten human health and/or ecosystem productivity and integrity. Various nanoparticles and nanomaterials that could be used in water remediation (zeolites, carbon nanotubes, self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous supports, biopolymers, single-enzyme nanoparticles, zero-valent iron nanoparticles, bimetallic iron nanoparticles, and nanoscale semiconductor photocatalysts) are discussed. The book also covers water-borne infectious diseases as well as water-borne pathogens, microbes, and toxicity approach.
