Micro and Nanomanufacturing Volume II

Mark J. Jackson is the McCune and Middlekauff Foundation Endowed Faculty Fellow and Academic Department Head at Kansas State University. He has authored and coauthored over 250 publications in archived journals and refereed conference proceedings, and has written and edited books in the area of nanotechnology and manufacturing.

Professor Waqar Ahmed is the Head of the Institute of Nanotechnology and Bioengineering at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, United Kingdom.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of micro and nanofabrication techniques, and applies established and research laboratory manufacturing techniques to a wide variety of materials. It is a companion volume to "Micro and Nanomanufacturing" (2007) and covers new topics such as aligned nanowire growth, molecular dynamics simulation of nanomaterials, atomic force microscopy for microbial cell surfaces, 3D printing of pharmaceuticals, microvascular coaptation methods, and more. The chapters also cover a wide variety of applications in areas such as surgery, auto components, living cell detection, dentistry, nanoparticles in medicine, and aerospace components. This is an ideal text for professionals working in the field, and for graduate students in micro and nanomanufacturing courses.
