• Description:
  The two volumes of this book are based on the successful Presidential symposium on "Nanotechnology: Delivering on the Promise", which took place at the ACS Spring national meeting in Denver in March 2015. The symposium featured leading researchers in U.S. academia, industry and government labs as well as representatives of major U.S. funding and regulatory agencies. The topics covered included cutting-edge research on nanotechnology and useful information on product development, manufacturing and commercialization of selected nanotech products. Their reports noted impressive progress in all aspects of nanotechnology with a huge (and growing) number of publications and numerous products already in the marketplace. However, there were also some cautionary voices on the health, safety and environmental issues related to nanotechnology. Concurrently, all of the symposium speakers were invited to provide chapters to this ACS book. We were pleased that many of them did. Additional nanotechnology experts were also invited to submit manuscripts in order to strengthen the coverage of specific technical areas. A total of 25 chapters are included in the two volumes of the book. Volume 1 contains two sections. The first section (Managing Nanotechnology R&D) consists of chapters written by well-known leaders at academic institutions as well as several leaders at U.S. government agencies, namely, the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. They provide wonderful insight on how nanotechnology R&D is being managed and some of the results of their efforts. In the second section (Health, Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Issues), several leading experts share their perspectives and experiences with health, safety, environmental, and regulatory issues relating to nanotech products. In product development today, it is a priority to address these concerns. Furthermore, a good knowledge of the trends in government policy and regulatory issues is a distinct competitive advantage in business and product development. In the second volume of this book, many notable applications of nanotechnology are delineated; these include new developments in energy and electronics, materials, bio/medical areas, and agriculture. We appreciate the efforts of all the authors who took time to prepare their manuscripts and the many reviewers for their time and talent during the peer review process. Thanks are also due to the personnel at ACS Books, particularly Arlene Furman, Elizabeth Hernandez, Bob Hauserman, and Mary Calvert for their efficient handling of the manuscripts. We hope these volumes will stand out as a source of up-to-date information for researchers, a useful guide for practitioners interested in product development, and a handy reference for people who want to learn more about nanotechnology.
