    About this ebook

    Materials science is generally defined as the science describing the relationship between the structure and properties of materials.

    While some books focus on nanoscale materials technology, they are either too simple to be useful or too hard to understand. This book bridges that gapproviding insights that you can understand and use to break into the field.

    Whether youre a professor at a community or technical college looking for an appropriate textbook to teach students in a nanotechnology career degree program, a high school teacher seeking to incorporate emerging nanotechnologies into an existing curriculum, or a professional striving to learn more about a high-paying niche, youll get the information you crave. Learn about:

    milestones in the history of nanotechnology;

    features and uses of nanoscale materials;

    future applications of nanoscale materials;

    biological and medical applications of nanoscale materials.

    Filled with figures, diagrams, key terms, and easy-to-read summaries, A Career-Focused Introduction to Nanoscale Materials Technology delivers critical resources to further your understanding of a significant field.
