    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Advances in Smart Nanomaterials and their Applications brings together the latest advances and novel methods in the preparation of smart nanomaterials for cutting-edge applications. The book covers fundamental concepts of nanomaterials, including fabrication methods, processing, application areas, specific applications of smart nanomaterials across a range of areas, such as biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, food science and packaging, sensing, cosmetics and dermatology, gas, oil, energy, wastewater and environment, textiles, agriculture, and forestry sectors. In each case, possible challenges, recent trends, and potential future developments are addressed in detail. The book also discusses various considerations for the utilization of smart nanomaterials, including environmental safety and legal requirements. The book is suitable for graduate students as a textbook and simultaneously be useful for both novices and experienced scientists or researchers, medical biologists, nanobiotechnologists, nanoengineers, agricultural scientists, and general biologists as a reference book as well as inspires some industrialists and policy makers involved in the investigation of smart nanomaterials.
