What is it about?
This is a book that explains the basics of Nanotechnology and also contains a comprehensive set of laboratory set of experiments that allows nanoscience students to undertake hands-on creation of metallic nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles all the way to synthesizing polymer nanoparticles. It introduces the students from a range of backgrounds to create NPs and see their applications.

Why is it important?
Nanotechnology and Nanosciences are at the forefront of Science Education and R&D in many fields and expertise in creating nanoparticles (NPs) are very much needed to develop these fields.
Perspectives
This book is one of the first experimental book on nanoscienec and nanotechnology. A review of the book by Prod Dobson is shown below. Comments "...Here is a book that gives clear laboratory instructions to perform practical experiments and it is excellent!” “…,Then comes a chapter that makes this book stand out: there is a very well-written chapter on laboratory safety and report writing. These topics are not the most exciting aspects of modern science judged by the groans and blank faces of students when these subjects are raised! However, here it is well presented and follows chapters that have built up the interest level to a considerable extent. This chapter is well placed coming before a series of very descriptive experiments in one chapter that can really stimulate the user of this book." Professor Peter J. Dobson, FRCS Queens College, University of Oxford 2016
