The obvious and connatural unification of ballistic missile and nuclear bomb shaped it as the most high profile weapon system that has dominated the world politics and security paradigm so intricately. With the new perception of deterrence and threat, the warfare has taken a new dimension.

Concurrently; Ballistic Missile Defence as a concept evolved during 1960s. However, the two superpowers deploying thousands of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) remained effective stability tool during Cold War and development of missile defences were restricted through the regime of arms control treaties as in the perception of the bipolar world, Anti Ballistic Missile Systems will weaken the stability stratagem anchored on policy of Mutual Assured Destruction.

Making of nanomaterials often requires very different production approaches. As introduced in the book, there are several processes to create nanomaterials, classified as 'top-down' and 'bottom-up'.
