Green Nanotechnology: Solutions for Sustainability and Energy in the Built Environment

This book explores the role nanotechnology in meeting challenges inherent in minimizing environmental impacts while maximizing energy resources. This book provides an overview of our energy supply. It examines increasing energy production while reducing cost, as well as novel energy sources, and explores the ways in which nanotechnologies can improve structural engineering of energy sources, create new methods of cooling, and inspire fresh approaches to water supply and treatment. In addressing these critical issues, the book provides an authoritative resource that forms the foundation for new research and product development.
