Rational design of next generation nanomaterials and nanodevices for water applications Despite the fact that nanotechnology has been present for a few decades there is a big gap between how nanotechnology is perceived and what nanotechnology can truly offer in all sectors of water. The question to be answered is what more can we expect from nanotechnology in the water field The rational nano design starts with well defined problem definitions necessitates interdisciplinary approaches involves think outside the box and represents the future growth point of environmental nanotechnology. However it is still largely new to the educated public and even scientists and engineers in water fields. Therefore it is the purpose of this book to promote the concept of rational nano design and to demonstrate its creativity innovation and excitement. This book presents a series of carefully selected rationally designed nano materials devices surfaces which represent drastically different ground breaking and eye opening approaches to conventional problems to embody the concept of nano design and to illustrate its remarkable potential to change the face of the research in water industry in the future. Each of the book contributors is world renowned expert in the burgeoning field of rational nano design for applications. Rational Design of Next generation Nanomaterials and Nanodevices for Water Applications is intended for undergraduates graduates scientists and professionals in the fields of environmental science material science chemistry and chemistry engineering. It provides coherent and good material for teaching research and professional reference
