"This Handbook adeptly explores the complex challenges nanotechnology poses for policy makers and the business community with regard to regulations, intellectual property rights, export control issues, and public and private financing. As a member of Congress active in advancing the development of nanotechnology, I will make great use of the conclusions the authors reach and the recommendations they make as I work with my colleagues on crafting future nanotechnology policy."
U.S. Representative Mike Honda (CA)
member, House of Representatives Committee on Science
"Chapter by chapter, this book provides comprehensive discussions of the forces that drive the business of nanotechnology today, providing invaluable assistance in avoiding the pitfalls that await start-ups and long-standing corporations alike. It captures the journey we ve been through these last few years, and offers the lessons we ve learned to those who follow. Every new CEO or CFO of a high-tech company will find this book an invaluable resource."
John H. Belk, Boeing Technology Ventures, Phantom Works
Chairman, Nanotechnology Steering Committee
"Miller and his colleagues have attempted a Herculean task and have succeeded with great aplomb. The chapters on FDA review, EPA regulations, and export controls are particularly valuable and not easily accessible elsewhere. Value creation in a nanotech firm is all about intellectual property, and Miller s team excels in this area. The authors are also very adroit at putting a spin on business issues as they specifically apply to nanotech."
David E. Reisner, PhD, President & CEO of The Nano Group™, Inc.
its subsidiaries, Inframat® Corp. and US Nanocorp®, Inc.
"This is the first book to offer in-depth coverage of business, legal, and policy issues for the field of nanotechnology. It is a great resource for anyone seeking to read about the early leaders in nanotechnology business, as well as an authoritative guide for navigating the maze of legal and policy issues facing emerging nanotechnology enterprises."
Stephen Maebius, Partner at law firm of Foley & Lardner
Leader of the Nanotechnology Industry Team
Nanotechnology may be on the verge of impacting virtually every aspect of industry and society. From reducing the nation’s reliance on fossil fuel energy to affording millions of people access to clean water, the potential ramifications of nanotechnology could be enormous. But how will it all play out? Will social, political, and regulatory issues empower technological progress, or stifle it? Who will pay for the fundamental research and commercial development of nanotechnology? Who will profit from it, how, and when?
The Handbook of Nanotechnology is the first book to carefully examine the key policy, business, and investment issues driving nanotechnology and to provide a general framework to understand and classify its applications. This comprehensive, peer-reviewed work includes:
As nanotechnology quickly passes from the shadowy realm of theory and vision to the bright light of commercial reality, there is an urgent need for rigorous and substantive analysis. The Handbook of Nanotechnology provides you with a step-by-step look at what has already been done to give birth to nanotechnology, and what still must be done to unleash its full potential.
