This book gives a focused view of boron nitride (BN) nanostructures including structure, synthesis, properties and various energy and healthcare related applications. It covers varied dimensional structures of BN, along with other crystalline phases, and important properties of all these structures. It also covers different synthesis routes for all types of BN nanostructures, functional groups, defect engineering etc. Further sections cover energy storage and conversion, biomedical, piezoelectric and, sensing applications including challenges and opportunities.Provides exhaustive coverage of nanostructures of Boron NitrideDiscusses pertinent structure, synthesis, functionalization, and properties in detailEmphasizes on applications in energy and healthcare sectorContains individual chapters on chapters on zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional structures of Boron NitrideIncludes patentability, market potential and actual product informationThis book is aimed at Researchers and graduate students in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, and Chemistry.

Disha is a timid girl, brought up by her parents as a homely, quiet girl, trained to be seen rather than heard. She marries Giri, a man her parents choose for her. She goes on to be the ideal Indian wife-barely questioning or rebelling, and catering to the needs of her husband and an insecure mother-in-law. Despite her constant inner conflict arising out of introspection, observation, and education, she remains largely silent and unheard in her marriage, as she was during her childhood. Taunted and belittled by them, her individuality slowly disappears, at least to the viewer's eye. Will she ever emerge out of the shadows? The Lost Identity is a must read for teenagers and parents, reflecting untold and little understood problems of millions of Indian girls through the protagonist, Disha.
