This book describes various aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It begins with an introduction to nanoscience and nanotechnology and includes a historical perspective, nanotechnology working in nature, man-made nanomaterial, and the impact of nanotechnology illustrated with examples.

It goes on to describe general synthetic approaches and strategies, and also deals with the characterization of nanomaterial using modern tools and techniques to provide a basic understanding for those interested in learning about this emerging area.

It then addresses different kinds of nanomaterial such as inorganics, carbon-based, nanocomposites, and self-assembled/supramolecular nanostructures in terms of their varieties, synthesis, and properties. In addition, it contains chapters devoted to unique properties with mathematical treatment wherever applicable and the novel applications dealing with information technology, pollution control (environment, water), energy, nanomedicine, healthcare, consumer goods, etc.
