We feel great contentment in bringing out this Edited Book on “Recent Trends in Nanotechnology and its Application". Nanotechnology opens up an almost unlimited field of research activity. Especially in medicine, nanotechnology offers exciting opportunities. Novel diagnostic procedures and therapies promise wide-ranging development potential. For example, novel drugs can be developed. Supported by the progressive miniaturization in the electronics industry, interdisciplinary research teams are researching so-called nanobots. Prototypes already available today should continue to shrink below the size of blood cells and be able to move in the human organism. These nanobots could then transport drugs and dose them specifically to the disease centers 

It is claimed that environmental problems such as pollution and climate change could also be solved. However, there are also negative properties that nanotechnology entails. For example, the development of usable nanoparticles requires enormous energy and water consumption as well as the use of toxic solvents and chemicals. In addition, the use of nano packaging promotes longer shelf life of food, which in turn means that the food continues to be transported over long distances. Everyone knows that global transport is a major environmental burden. For humans, dangers arise when such nano-pesticides are ingested via food, as research cannot yet foresee how the human body absorbs and degrades these substances.

This book provides a collection of chapters, latest technologies, advanced methods and untapped research findings in the areas involved in diverse fields of nanotechnology such as, Nano Materials, Nano Chemistry, Nano Physics, Crystal growth, Novel Materials for Green Chemistry and Discrete Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Each chapter is written by renowned researchers in their respective fields of nanotechnology and includes future advancement in nanotechnology. Also, these are designed to help the readers capture some of the breadths and exciting views about research in nanotechnology, which are considered crucial and can, pave the way to scale up the next generation of scientific and technological advancements.
