"While advances in biotechnology and the rise of the Internet dazzled investors and made headlines in the final years of the twentieth century, a quiet revolution was taking place in the field of nanotechnology. This book is the first attempt to fully explore legal, policy, regulatory, and business issues associated with this new era of technological power, and prepare industry, government, and society for the revolution in nanotechnology." - From the Introduction.
Nanotechnology may be on the verge of impacting virtually every aspect of industry and society. From reducing the nation’s reliance on fossil fuel energy to affording millions of people access to clean water, the potential ramifications of nanotechnology could be enormous. But how will it all play out? Will social, political, and regulatory issues empower technological progress, or stifle it? Who will pay for the fundamental research and commercial development of nanotechnology? Who will profit from it, how, and when?
The Handbook of Nanotechnology is the first book to carefully examine the key policy, business, and investment issues driving nanotechnology and to provide a general framework to understand and classify its applications. This comprehensive, peer-reviewed work includes:
An Introduction to Nanotechnology - The technical underpinnings and potential applications of nanotechnology, including a clear-cut description and a model of the industrial structure that underlies its development.
Nanotechnology Policy and Regulation - A rigorous analysis of the legal, political, and regulatory issues confronting the field, and what federal agencies and Congress must do to prepare for nanotechnology
Nanotechnology Business - Specific strategic, investment, legal, and financial decisions involved in the business of nanotechnology, including analysis of capital raising, patenting, partnering, emerging markets, and more.
As nanotechnology quickly passes from the shadowy realm of theory and vision to the bright light of commercial reality, there is an urgent need for rigorous and substantive analysis. The Handbook of Nanotechnology provides you with a step-by-step look at what has already been done to give birth to nanotechnology, and what still must be done to unleash its full potential.
