Nanotechnology is anticipated to become a major economic driver in the future. It can be expected to influence a wide range of industries including microelectronics, automobiles, agriculture and food, aerospace, forest products, building materials, batteries, catalysts, solar energy, fuel cells, and drinking water. Nanomaterials have the potential to contribute to more sustainable manufacturing through cleaner, less wasteful production processes and can substitute conventional materials, leading to savings in raw materials and energy. This book brings together a series of articles by leading experts in the relevant scientific and technical fields. It provides an innovative perspective by establishing connections and identifying the linkages between the subject areas and bridging academic and industrial experience. It also covers methods for assessing the sustainability of nanotechnology-based products using life-cycle analysis (LCA), taking into account material and energy consumption during manufacture, use, and final disposal and/or recycling.
