Discover more powerful and versatile electronic devices beyond just silicon!

Nanotechnology has become the central focal point for much of the development of the latest, extremely reliable electronics. In particular, the bottom-up and top-down approaches for the creation of functional nanostructures have demonstrated that they are ideally suited for a broad scope of applications in fields such as flexible electronics, supercapacitors, tissue engineering, solar cells, and chemical sensors. With such a wide range of potential uses, nanomaterials appear to be the wave of the future.

As the name implies, Smart Nanomaterials for Electronics offers a comprehensive look at state-of-the-art research and development in the field of applications of smart nanostructures in electronics. Interdisciplinary research is vital to the success of this growing field, and this book facilitates the diffusion of this type of enquiry in the interrelated and rapidly converging fields of nanoelectronics. The book has a central focus on enhancing the performance of electronic devices using smart nanostructures with special attention given to nanobioelectronics and, more generally, on the approaches that seriously consider the economics and commercialization challenges inherent in the technology. The text also examines the ethical, legal, and social issues presented by nanoelectronics in detail.
