"Finally, a book that gathered the latest and most contrasted information on toxicity of carbon nanotubes."

"Silicon Nanophotonics, edited by Leonid Khriachtchev, is a most useful, up-to-date collection of review articles covering the various aspects of silicon-based photonics, written by leading experts in the area. Both theoretical and experimental issues of silicon nanocrystals were considered, as well as device applications in both solid-state photonics and biology. This volume is an essential read for those working to make silicon shine as optoelectronics material."

"This book provides the state-of-the-art research material in this area. Its content is clear, didactic and reflects modern knowledge and thinking in pharmaceutics. This is a precious book for all types of readers ¡ª students, research scientists, pharmacists from the industry, practitioners from hospitals who want to expand their knowledge on Nanomedicine."

"This book provides a very detailed and interesting overview of the fundamental principles of nanoscience, discusses the background of several nanoscience experimental techniques, and sheds light on some of the visionary and important applications in the truly interdisciplinary area of nanotechnology. This book will be a useful reference book for graduate students, and is expected to attract a lot of attention, not only from new graduate students, but also from more senior scientists interested in the fascinating area of nanoscience and nanotechnology, and those who are involved in a wide spectrum of disciplines ranging from physics, chemistry, surface science, spectroscopy, materials science, engineering to medicine."

"This book provides an excellent introduction to the theories and experimental methods of molecular based study of condensed matter in small systems which are the principles of nanotechnology. For new comers to the field it is a marvelous and thorough educational tool. For those already familiar with some of the concepts, it makes more concrete their knowledge for possible earlier stages entering into research and development in nanoscience and nanotechnology."

"This book does an excellent job of assembling a wide variety of synthetic techniques and describing how they can be applied to a range of materials for design on the nanoscale. The references range from the classic to the very recent, giving a broad perspective of the area, and an index provides cross-referencing."

"This book provides a good introduction to tribology and will be of use for students."

"Those involved in the research of carbon nanotubes will find this book useful for understanding the basic properties of carbon tube materials."
