Biological Micro- and Nanotribology: Nature’s Solutions
May 29, 2010 by AboutNanoWires.com · Leave a Comment
Product Description
This book is written for scientists and engineers wishing to become familiar with biological micro- and nanotribology as a new interdisciplinary field of research combining methods and knowledge of physics, chemistry, mechanics and biology. Biological micro- and nanotribology aims to gather information about friction, adhesion and wear of biological systems and to apply this new knowledge to the design of micro-electro-mechanical systems, the development of new types of monolayer lubrication, the invention of new adhesives or the construction of artificial joints. Biologists, chemists, physicists and tribologists and many other applied scientists will find this book an essential addition to their libraries. Moreover, this book also gives an introduction to the higher levels of micromechanical analysis. It will provide valuable assistance for graduate students intending to become active in interdisciplinary research.
FROM THE REVIEWS:
PHYSICS TODAY “…a valuable addition to the literature on the micromechanics of very thin films with emphasis on friction, adhesion, and lubrication. The discussion is exceedingly well organized and well illustrated; many examples are provided from biological systems; and the extensive reference list – more than 700 entries – is up-to-date. Overall, the authors have succeeded admirably in providing an informative and thorough text, the publisher has produced an attractive book, and readers will find much material of interest…I recommend it to anyone who works in the area of micromechanics of friction and lubrication. It offers a useful survey and provides many interesting discussions of biological systems.”

Product Description
This book presents an in-depth discussion on molecular electronics in an easy-to-understand manner, aiming at chemists, computer scientists, surface scientists, physicists, and applied mathematicians. Lighter overviews are provided for the science-minded layperson and the high tech entrepreneur in this nanoscale science. The author has included a detailed synthetic chemistry treasure chest, protocols of self-assembling routes for bottom-up fabrication atop silicon platforms, representative current-voltage and memory readouts from molecular devices, and overviews of present architectural and mathematical approaches to programming molecular computing machines. The investment and commercial insertion landscape is painted along with a “Who’s Who” in the molecular electronics business space. Advice and forewarnings are provided in a practical yet witty manner for the aspiring academic corporate founder and the business CEO wannabe seeking to establish a high tech company while wading through the idiosyncratic morass of university personalities and university-owned intellectual property.
