CHAPTER 11 Design of Nanotechnology Products
It has already been stressed in Chapter 9 that one of the difficulties faced by suppliers of any upstream technology is that they must ensure that its use is already envisaged in the design of the downstream products that will incorporate the technology. Apart from fulfilling technical specifications, aesthetic design is furthermore one of the crucial factors determining the allure of almost any product (perhaps those destined for outer space are an exception), but especially a consumer product. In this chapter we look at some peculiar features associated with design of nanodevices, here defined as devices incorporating nanomaterials.
