Abstract

An overview of the current state of nanotechnology-based devices with applications in environmental science, focusing on nanomaterials and polymer nanocomposites. The handbook pays special attention to those nanotechnology-based approaches that promise easier, faster and cheaper processes in environmental monitoring and remediation. Furthermore, it presents up-to-date information on the economics, toxicity and regulations related to nanotechnology in detail. The book closes with a look at the role of nanotechnology for a green and sustainable future. With its coverage of existing and soon-to-be-realized devices this is an indispensable reference for both academic and corporate R&D. Perspectives of Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Control; Modeling of Nanotechnology for Environmental Pollution Control; Nanosorbents and Nanocatalysts; Adsorption Mechanisms on Nanomaterials; Carbon Nanomaterials as Smart Adsorbants; Carbon Nanomaterials-Based Preconcentration Devices; Carbon Nanomaterials-Based Techniques for Pollution Control; Functionalized Nanomaterials in Environmental Science; Nanomembranes for Environment; Magnetic Nanomaterials in Environmental Devices; Nanosensors; Nanotechnology Support for Lab-on-Chip Applications; Bio Nanomaterials-Based Sensors; Legal Aspects of Nanotechnology; Further Important Aspects about Nanotechnology (Toxicity, Economic and Societal); Green and Sustainable Visions - Nanomaterials in the Environment.
