Gérrard Eddy Jai Poinern is the director of the Murdoch Applied Nanotechnology Research Group and a senior lecturer in physics and nanotechnology at Murdoch University. His research interests include nanotechnology-based applications for environmental remediation, food security, biomimicry, photothermal and photovoltaics applications, and carbon technologies. He has been a recipient of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Global Grand Challenge in Health Innovation Award for his work on the development of biosynthetic materials and their application in the manufacture of biomedical devices. He received a PhD in physics from Murdoch University.
"... provides a unique opportunity for students as well as
professionals in academia and industry to learn how to synthesize
nanomaterials. Clear and concise directions along with
characterization methods provide the reader with a hands-on
introduction to the world of nanomaterials. ... This is a great way
to learn about many of the modem methods for nanomaterial
preparation on a small scale."
—John J. Shea, IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine,
November/December 2015"… with proper classroom guidance, the
experiments described here, coupled with anecdotal examples the
author provides on the utility of nanoparticles, could serve as a
good basis for a full laboratory course."
—MRS Bulletin, Vol. 40, September 2015"The laboratory manual is an
excellent and timely addition to the resources available to teach
undergraduate and postgraduate students working in the
nanosciences. Written by an internationally recognized expert in
the field, the material is well presented, making nanotechnology
accessible to students from a wide range of backgrounds. The scope
covers nano-related topics in physics, chemistry, biology, and
materials science and includes underlying theory as well as many
hands-on experiments that have all been well tested and refined
over the years this course was taught by the author. The
experiments are underpinned by comprehensive descriptions of
nanomaterials and the very important techniques of sample
characterization that reveal the full nature of the nano world. The
presentation is visually attractive, with excellent illustrations.
… This book is destined to become a much-loved and well-used
classic."
