He also holds position of treasure in the student co-operative society of CoEP and professional society 'The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) Pune Chapter'. Rajendra Kumar Goyal is professor of metallurgy and materials science at College of Engineering, Pune (CoEP), Pune, India.

Discusses size effect on thermal, mechanical, optical, magnetic and electrical properties.

Reviews synthesis, properties and applications of carbon nanotubes and magnetic nanomaterials.

Explains calculation of ratios of surface area to volume and surface atoms to bulk atoms.Illustrates sample preparation and basic principle of characterization tools for nanomaterials.Top-down and bottom-up approaches for the synthesis of nanomaterials included.Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, the key features on this book include: It also discusses development of smart nano textiles (intelligent textiles), self-cleaning glass, sensors, actuators, ferro-fluids, and wear resistant nano coatings. Further, it deals with relevant aspects of nanocomposites which contains dispersion of nano-sized particulates, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the matrices (polymer, metal and ceramic). In addition, the book covers most commonly used characterization tools pertaining to nanomaterials. The main aims of this book are to summarize the fundamentals, synthesis methods, properties and applications of nanomaterials, so as to provide readers with a systematic knowledge on nanomaterials.
