Nanomaterials in Manufacturing: Industrial Synthesis, Metrology, Quality Systems, and Advanced Processing Platforms (en Inglés) - Ali Akbar Firoozi

The volume provides the industrial foundation for translating nanoscale material advantages into repeatable, auditable, and economically defensible manufacturing practice. Rather than presenting nanomaterials as isolated laboratory products, it treats them as engineered inputs whose value depends on synthesis route selection, surface state control, dispersion stability, measurement traceability, process capability, and quality-system discipline. The book explains how manufacturers choose between top-down, bottom-up, gas-phase, liquid-phase, substrate-based, and hybrid production routes; how functionalization improves manufacturability and downstream compatibility; and how characterization should be linked to real release decisions rather than instrument availability. It also develops a practical framework for metrology, uncertainty, reference materials, inter-laboratory reproducibility, SPC, batch variability, and scale-up economics. The final part connects these foundations to advanced processing platforms, including additive manufacturing, roll-to-roll coating, nanoimprint, precision automation, digital twins, inline sensing, and closed-loop control.

The volume is designed for researchers, graduate students, industrial engineers, quality professionals, and R&D managers who need a production-centered reference for nanomaterial industrialization.
