Polymer and Polymer-Hybrid nanoparticles
From Synthesis to Biomedical Applications
stanislav rangelou and asterios Pispas
Written for graduate students and researchers in the fields of chemistry, pharmacy,
nanosciences, and biomedical engineering, this timely reference reviews polymer
synthesis and macromolecular design and various applications of polymer-based
nanomaterials in bionanotechnology and medicine. It provides a description of the
current state of the art, summarizing important developments in the field and
condensing the relevant research into a comprehensive reference. Differing from
other references of similar topic, this book provides an interdisciplinary bridge
between polymer synthesis and characterization and biomedical aspects. It also
provides a comprehensive overview of synthesis strategies and nanostructures
applicable to the controlled delivery of drugs.

TEXTBOOK
Practical robot design *
m. Fikret Ercan, Jagannathan Kanniah
and carlos acosta
This book presents the latest theoretical and practical
developments in the field of robotics. Each chapter covers
basic theory and key topics, including actuators, sensors,
and microcontrollers, followed by specific robot-building
applications, such as robot swarms, legged robots,
underwater robots, and flying robots. The text also
discusses the application of AI techniques in robotics and
provides case studies, homework problems, algorithms,
and application examples. Drawing on years of robotbuilding
and teaching experience, the author
demonstrates how to build one example robot from
beginning to end, with independent examples for extra modules.

Process Engineering and design
using Visual Basic
arun datta
This book provides a unique and versatile suite of process design and engineering
programs and builds a firm understanding of the principles needed to effectively
use the software. Emphasizing the importance of not relying completely on
software tools, the author examines design guidelines based on international
codes, discusses problems with software tools, and shows how to apply this
knowledge to design and simulation programs. He supplies nine program written
in Visual Basic to overcome the limitations of other software tools or proprietary
software based on Excel spreadsheets. Numerous examples demonstrate the
development and utility of the programs supplied on the accompanying CD-ROM.
