This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors.

Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. This textbook is a full-color masterwork presents an overview of the nanoscale, including characterization and fabrication across chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience.

Reflecting the exceptional growth in recent years in the use of nanostructured materials for an increasing range of industrial applications, Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook comprehensively covers the synthesis of both nanomaterials that act as the building blocks of polymer nanocomposites as well as polymers that act as matrix materials. It examines molecular precursors and related challenges for large-scale manufacturing. It describes current processing techniques and the difficulty to obtain good dispersion. Discussing future applications in civilian and defense-related fields, it also presents methods to characterize the bulk and interfacial structure of polymer nanocomposites.
