      abstract = {This handbook examines the recent advances in the  nanotechnology of polymers and ceramics, which possess  outstanding mechanical properties and compatibility given  their unique physical and chemical properties caused by the  unusually large surface area to volume ratios and high  interfacial reactivity. This handbook highlights the  various compositions and morphologies of polymer and  ceramic nanomaterials that can serve as powerful tools for  the diverse applications in areas such as electronics,  photonics, shape-memory alloys, biomaterials and biomedical  nanomaterials, graphene-based technologies, and textiles  and packaging. The handbook addresses safety, economics,  green production and sustainability. The book contains a  section on functionalization of these molecules, which only  increases the possibility of developing even more versatile  materials that can be fine-tuned for specific applications.  Filling a gap in the literature, this handbook provides  comprehensive coverage of properties, fabrication,  characterization, functionalization methods and  applications at both experimental and theoretical models  scales. Economic, toxicological, regulatory, and  environmental concerns regarding applications are also  discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to  sustainable approaches that reduce costs in terms of  chemicals and time consumption. The book covers research  trends, challenges, and prospective topics as well.},
