Nanotechnology and the Environment

摘要

Nanotechmplogy and the Environment provides the fundamental basis needed to assess and understand the life cycle of nanomaterials. It begins with a general introduction to nanoscale materials, their properties, and their uses, and describes the processes used to manufacture nanoscale materials. In order to provide a cohesive presentation of issues, six of the most common nanomaterials are considered, namely titanium dioxide, zero valent iron, silver carbon black, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.
