| Synopsis |
Providing an eclectic snapshot of the current state of the art and future implications of the field, Nanomaterials, Polymers, and Devices: Materials Functionalization and Device Fabrication presents topics grouped into three categorical focuses: The synthesis, mechanism and functionalization of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, and quantum dots Various functional devices which properties and structures are tailored with emphasis on nanofabrication. Among discussed are light emitting diodes, nanophotonic, nano-optical, and photovoltaic devices Nanoelectronic devices, which include semiconductor, nanotube and nanowire-based electronics, single-walled carbon-nanotube based nanoelectronics, as well as thin-film transistors, Provides an interdisciplinary approach to the fabrication, assembly and structural characterization of nanomaterials From metals and semiconductors to organic compounds and/or polymers, structures and properties are continuously being redefined, as building blocks in nanomaterials are leading to a plethora of novel devices and functions. For years, nanotechnology has paved the way for the marriage of many broad science disciplines, leading to life-altering innovations in medicine, electronics, biomaterials energy production, and consumer products. The field still remains broad and young, with debates ongoing about its overall impact. Providing an eclectic snapshot of the current state of the art and future implications of the field, Nanomaterials, Polymers, and Devices: Materials Functionalization and Device Fabrication presents topics grouped into three categorical focuses: The synthesis, mechanism and functionalization of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, and quantum dots Various functional devices which properties and structures are tailored with emphasis on nanofabrication. Among discussed are light emitting diodes, nanophotonic, nano-optical, and photovoltaic devices Nanoelectronic devices, which include semiconductor, nanotube and nanowire-based electronics, single-walled carbon-nanotube based nanoelectronics, as well as thin-film transistors Bringing the disciplines of physics, chemistry and materials engineering closer together, this well-researched monograph exudes the versatility of nanotechnology in materials applications. Graduate students and professionals in academia and industry in the fields of nanomaterials/nanotechnology, polymers, bioengineering and materials engineering will find this book a valuable resource for their research in this ever-growing field. Eric Siu-Wai Kong, Ph.D ., is Research Professor at the Research Institute of Micro/Nanometer Science and Technology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. After attending Diocesan Boys School in Hong Kong, he studied and received his bachelor degree from University of California, Berkeley; master degree and doctorate in polymer chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute under the guidance of Prof. Bernhard Wunderlich. He then performed postdoctoral research under the tutelage of Prof. Garth Wilkes and Prof. James McGrath at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Dr. Kong has since made contributions at organizations including NASA Ames Research Center, Sandia National Laboratories, Stanford University, Becton, Dickinson & Company and Hewlett Packard Labs. Over the years, Prof. Kong has also been a visiting scholar at Kyoto University, National University of Singapore, and Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry. He has received grants and funding from Electric Power Research Institute; Cummins, Inc. and NASA. He is also the founder of Nanophotonic Semiconductors, Inc., a nanotechnology company in California., Offering an introduction to the topic and the nature of shape-memory effects and superelasticity, Shape-Memory Polymers provides an in-depth look at the properties, mechanics, applications, and characterization of SMPs and thermoplastic elastomers.
