Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook: Graphene, Fullerenes, Nanotubes, and Nanodiamonds, Volume I

The Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook contains extensive, interdisciplinary coverage of carbon nanomaterials, encompassing the full scope of the field-from physics, chemistry, and materials science to molecular biology, engineering, and medicine-in two comprehensive volumes. Written in a tutorial style, this first volume of the sourcebook: * Focuses on graphene, fullerenes, nanotubes, and nanodiamonds * Describes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussed * Explores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applications * Showcases materials with exceptional properties, synthesis methods, large-scale production techniques, and application prospects * Provides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphs Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of carbon nanomaterial and addresses three main areas: formation, properties, and applications. This setup allows for quick and easy search, making the Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook: Graphene, Fullerenes, Nanotubes, and Nanodiamonds, Volume I a must-have reference for scientists and engineers.
