From page 1...
... Nanoscience is the science of the nano-Xs, while nanotechnology as used in the present context refers to the production and use of the nano-Xs. Professor Weertman listecl the topics and goals to be addressed: Synthesis and assembly of nanomaterial building blocks; Characterization of nanomaterials; Examples of structural nanomaterials currently in use; Potential applications of nanomaterials; Gaps in understanding of synthesis, assembly, chemical, and physical characterization and the need for an interdisciplinary approach; and Identification of the "showstoppers" major barriers to utilization of nanomaterials.
