Safety of Nanomaterials along Their Lifecycle

Debaprasad Das and Hafizur Rahaman

Release, Exposure, and Human Hazards

This book presents a detailed analysis and modeling of carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon interconnects. It first discusses the theory and basics of both carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon. Both are some forms of allotrope of carbon. Depending on their structure, they can exhibit either metallic or semiconducting properties. Due to the excellent current-carrying capability and long mean free path, these materials find suitability as future interconnects. The book then presents the details of electrical circuit model for both carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon.

Wendel Wohlleben, Thomas A.J. Kuhlbusch, Jürgen Schnekenburger, and Claus-Michael Lehr Contrary to other disrupting technologies, such as nuclear energy or genetics, the scientific community has started to investigate the risks associated with novel nanomaterials early in the development phase. Although there are still gaps in our knowledge of the risks presented by nanomaterials, we now know enough to describe scenarios that are too high risk to implement as well as scenarios for the safe use of nanomaterials. This book help readers understand these scenarios to safely make decisions on the use of nanomaterials.

The past decade has witnessed the development of a wide range of nanomaterials using cavitation. While a few currently available books deal with the fundamental aspects of cavitation and sonochemistry, there is no book devoted specifically to the technologically important nanomaterials obtained by cavitation. This was the stimulus behind the development of this book. Leading researchers working on using cavitation for the generation of nanomaterials have made their contributions to this book.

This book discusses changes in superfluidity over the last two decades, including the expanded number of available experimental systems and potential applications. It covers new superfluid materials, such as high-temperature superconductors, ultra-cold atomic bosons and fermions, and helium supersolids. The text explains the general physical principles behind the superfluid phenomenon as a framework for the discussion of realistic systems. The authors present superfluidity as a phenomenon of emergent topological order and show that all superproperties of the system are explained by the appearance of a new constant of motion.
