Micro and Nanomanufacturing Volume II

This completly revised new edition offers a comprehensive treatment of micro and nanofabrication techniques and applies established and research laboratory manufacturing techniques to various materials. Designed as a companion volume to the book Micro and Nanomanufacturing, it covers topics such as aligned nanowire growth, molecular dynamics simulation of nanomaterials, atomic force microscopy for microbial cell surfaces, 3D printing of pharmaceuticals, microvascular coaptation methods, and more. The chapters also cover a wide variety of applications in areas such as surgery, auto components, living cell detection, dentistry, nanoparticles in medicine, and aerospace components, with six brand new chapters covering applications including the role of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in the manufacture of Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, the incineration of waste materials, the manufacturing of cosmetics, sputtered thin films for biomedical applications, and the manufacture of nanofibers using electrospinning.

Micro and Nanomanufacturing Volume II is an ideal text for professionals working in the field and for graduate students in micro and nanomanufacturing courses.
