Description

Nanotechnology is rapidly growing as a new technology alternative to create advance materials with unique characteristics and�performance for vast applications in a range of industrial sectors. In recent years, a number of nanotechnology-based products have�appeared in our day-to-today lives. On the other hand, industries have also considered nano-concepts to produce high-added value products with superior capacity, reliability, and efficiency. The field of nanotechnology is one of the most popular areas for�current research and development in almost all technical disciplines. This includes miniaturization of microelectronics, nanomedicine, nano-emulsion particles, fuel cell catalysts, self-assembled polymer films, nanofabrication, imprint lithography, and more. This book summarizes recent advances in miniaturization using nanotechnological approaches. The ability to interact with matter at�nanoscale has led to the development of nanoarchitecture and nanomaterials which have the capability of exceeding the limits of�conventional modalities. This book provides insight into the development and trends which are progressing quickly in the field of nano-miniaturized-based devices and tools. This book offers an overview of the evolution of miniaturization of engineering systems and devices, which was initiated over one-half century ago. The trend of further miniaturization of devices to the ultimate atomic scale will not�only continue, it will become a dominant technological development in the first half of the new century, if not for longer. Such�development will require significant changes in every aspect of design and manufacturing, as well as production management�over traditional engineering practices. Production of miniaturized device components and engineering systems of micro- and�nanoscale is clearly beyond the capability of current machine tools. Manufacturing of nano-scaled devices and�components involves isolation, transportation, and re-assembly of atoms and molecules. This nanomachining technology�involves not only physical-chemical processes as in the case of microfabrication, but it also involves application and integration�of the principles of molecular biology.Typham this is the title: Nanotechnology in Miniaturization An Emerging Trend to Fabricate Future Devices
