Marcel Van de Voorde VII Series Editor Preface Since years, nanoscience and nanotechnology have become particularly an important technology areas worldwide. As a result, there are many universities that offer courses as well as degrees in nanotechnology. Many governments includingEuropeaninstitutionsandresearchagencieshavevastnanotechnology programmesandmanycompaniesfilenanotechnology-relatedpatentstoprotect theirinnovations.Inshort,nanoscienceisahottopic! Nanoscience started in the physics field with electronics as a forerunner, quickly followed by the chemical and pharmacy industries. Today, nano technology finds interests in all branches of research and industry worldwide. In addition, governments and consumers are also keen to follow the develop ments,particularlyfromasafetyandsecuritypointofview.
