Ein Überblick über den aktuellen Stand von Geräten, die auf Nanotechnologie basieren und in den Umweltwissenschaften zum Einsatz kommen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf Nanomaterialien und Polymer-Nanokompositen. Das Handbuch beschäftigt sich insbesondere mit den auf Nanotechnologie basierenden Ansätzen, die einfachere, schnellere und kostengünstigere Prozesse bei der Umweltüberwachung und Umweltsanierung versprechen. Darüber hinaus bietet es aktuelle und detaillierte Informationen zu Ökonomie, Toxizität und Vorschriften in Verbindung mit der Nanotechnologie. Das Buch schließt mit einem Blick auf die Rolle der Nanotechnologie für eine grüne und nachhaltige Zukunft.
Für Forscher und Entwickler im akademischen Bereich und aus der Industrie ist dieses Handbuch, das vorhandene und demnächst verfügbare Geräte beschreibt, unabdingbar.
