CRC Press New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends: Volume 3: Sustainable Nanochemistry

The final volume of this new innovative and informative three-volume set explains and explores the essential basic and advanced concepts from various areas within the nanosciences. This volume primarily focuses on increasing awareness of sustainable nanochemistry, meaning the social and economic impact of nanochemistry, in order to mitigate ecological resource depletion and to promote the exploration of nature as a resource for future benefits. This volume adopts a pharmacological lens, examining the multitude of ways in which nano-research can contribute to the development of pharmaceutical drugs and paying particular attention to toxicology and renewable energy within nanochemistry. Under the vast expertise of the editor, the volume contains 34 entries contributed by renowned international scientists and scholars. The content in this volume covers topics such as anti-HIV agents, ecotoxicology, solar cells and photovoltaic phenomena, spectral-SAR, and more―alphabetically organized and accompanied by equations, figures, and brief letters in order to emphasize the potential applications of the concepts discussed. Review “Prof. Mihai V. Putz has done it again. Having authored a five-volume set of books on nanochemistry but a few years ago (Quantum Nanochemistry), Prof. Putz has now edited this set of three volumes, with 130 chapters/explicative essays/papers by internationally based, interdisciplinary authors. Prof. Putz clearly expresses his multiple goals for these three volumes; prominent among them is ‘to present informative and innovative contents alike, presented in a systematical and alphabetically manner.‘ The current volumes contain new insights alike for the beginning student and advanced practitioner of chemistry and of the multitude of related disciplines.  Prof. Putz, you are to be thanked for your studies, in the particular, now, for the editing of these new volumes (and also coauthoring however many chapters therein).” ―Prof. Joel F. Liebman, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) About the Author Mihai V. Putz, PhD, MBA, Dr.-Habil, is currently a Full Professor of theoretical and computational physical-chemistry at his alma mater, West University of Timisoara, Romania.
