Nanoscience & Technology Textbook

Textbook

Sensors and Actuators

A Laboratory Course in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Engineering System Instrumentation, Second Edition

Dr. Gerrard Eddy Jai Poinern

Clarence W. de Silva

Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia

University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada

Although there are many theoretical nanotechnology and nanoscience textbooks available to students, there are relatively few practical laboratory-based books. Filling this need, this practical manual presents a hands-on approach to key synthesis techniques and processes currently used in nanotechnology and nanoscience. It shows undergraduate students how to synthesize their own nanometer-scale materials and structures and then analyze their results using advanced characterization techniques. Through a series of well-designed, classroomtested lab experiments, students gain hands-on skills to complement their theoretical studies.

This introductory textbook on engineering system instrumentation emphasizes sensors, transducers, actuators, and devices for component interconnection. The book deals with “instrumenting” an engineering system through the incorporation of suitable sensors, actuators, and associated interface hardware including filters, amplifiers, and other signal modifiers. In view of the practical considerations, design issues, and industrial techniques that are presented throughout the book, and in view of the simplified and snap-shot style presentation of more advanced theory and concepts, it serves also as a useful reference for engineers, technicians, project managers, and other practicing professionals in industry and in research laboratories.

Bionanophotonics An Introductory Textbook

Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials using Abaqus™ Ever J. Barbero

Shuichi Kinoshita

West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA

Osaka University, Japan

Series: Composite Materials

Structural colors in living beings originate from surprisingly sophisticated microstructures which gave rise to a new field of research—bionanophotonics. This book places a special emphasis on the detailed physical basis for the optical processes that are deeply connected with the structural colors, and also on the biological and physiological bases concerning what a variety of animals are living and how they are seen by human vision. In addition, it contains ample examples for the recent technological advances in photonics that are rooted in the nature.

Developed from the author’s graduate-level course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, this text shows how powerful finite element tools address practical problems in the structural analysis of composites. Unlike other texts, this one takes the theory to a hands-on level by actually solving problems. It explains the concepts involved in the detailed analysis of composites, the mechanics needed to translate those concepts into a mathematical representation of the physical reality, and the solution of the resulting boundary value problems using the commercial finite element analysis software Abaqus™.

Ever J. Barbero

Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore

Series: Composite Materials

Industry and academia remain fascinated with the diverse properties and applications of polymers. However, most introductory books on this enormous and important field do not stress practical problem solving or include recent advances. Updating the popular first edition of “the polymer book for the new millennium,” this volume seamlessly integrates exploration of the fundamentals of polymer science and polymer chemistry. It is peppered with helpful questions and answers throughout to enhance understanding of presented theories and concepts.

Completely revised and updated, this second edition of a bestseller contains new chapters on damage mechanics, fabric reinforced composites, and external strengthening for infrastructure. It covers design aspects such as fiber and matrix selection, fabrication processes, prediction of material properties, and structural analysis and design of beams, plates, and shells, including many fully developed examples. Powerful preliminary design tools, such as “carpet plots,” are used in examples throughout the book.

Bionanotechnology / General Textbook

Learning Bio-MicroNanotechnology

Biophysics for Beginners A Journey through the Cell Nucleus Helmut Schiessel

Mel I. Mendelson

Leiden University, The Netherlands

Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA

This textbook gives compact introductions to the basics of the field (areas such as molecular cell biology and statistical physics) and then presents in-depth discussions of more advanced biophysics subjects, progressing to state-of-theart experiments and their theoretical interpretations. The book is unique by offering a general introduction to biophysics, yet at the same time restricting itself to processes that occur inside the cell nucleus and that involve biopolymers (DNA, RNA, and proteins).

A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnology courses, this book is designed for students who lack a cross-disciplinary background and knowledge of micro- and nano-technology.

It contains examples, questions, and problems divided into three hierarchical learning skills: understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the concepts. The author breaks down the boundaries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and ethics by co-mingling the vocabularies and concepts of these disciplines around bio-applications. Copiously illustrated, this text emphasizes biological and biomedical applications and includes a comprehensive chapter on ethics.

Textbook

Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Gabor L. Hornyak, H.F. Tibbals, Joydeep Dutta, and John J. Moore The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline rather than a specialization within a larger field. A nanoscience textbook cannot afford to be chemistry, physics, or engineering text focused on nano.

It must be an integrated and multidisciplinary nano textbook. The archetype of the modern nano textbook, this text builds a solid background in characterization and fabrication methods while integrating the physics, chemistry, and biology facets. The remainder of this color text focuses on applications, examining engineering aspects as well as nanomaterials and industry-specific applications in such areas as energy, electronics, and biotechnology.

Colloids and Interfaces in Life Sciences and Bionanotechnology

Technical Writing

Second Edition

A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists

Willem Norde

Phillip A. Laplante

Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands

The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA Series: What Every Engineer Should Know

This classroom-tested reference presents a concise introductory treatment of the physicochemical principles that determine interrelated colloidal and interfacial phenomena and their relevance to various life sciences. The book focuses on concepts that form the basis for understanding this behavior. It deciphers the spontaneous assembly of amphiphilic molecules and discusses the intentional fouling of surfaces for the immobilization of cells in bioreactors. It also devotes special attention to reversible and soft colloids and examines the colloidal domain in a historical perspective, the size and distribution of particles, electrokinetic phenomena, and more.

Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide enables students to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Complementing the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing, it helps readers understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions.

General Textbook

Engineering Writing by Design Creating Formal Documents of Lasting Value Edward J. Rothwell and Michael J. Cloud Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA

This book presents a novel approach to technical writing, positioning formal writing tasks as engineering design problems. It describes how to avoid logical fallacies and use physical reasoning to catch mistakes in claims, covers the essentials of technical grammar and style as well as the elements of mathematical exposition, and emphasizes the centrality of the target audience. Complete with illustrative examples, chapter summaries and exercises, and quick-reference tables, the text demonstrates how effective writing can be achieved through engineering-based thinking.
