Carbon Nanomaterials Synthesis Structure Properties and Applications
The study of nanostructures has become in recent years a theme common to many disciplines in which scientists and engineers manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular level in order to obtain materials and systems with significantly improved properties. Carbon nanomaterials have a unique place in nanoscience owing to their exceptional thermal electrical chemical and mechanical properties finding application in areas as diverse as super strong composite materials energy storage and conversion supercapacitors smart sensors targeted drug delivery paints and nanoelectronics. This book is the first to cover a broad spectrum of carbon nanomaterials namely carbon nanofibers vapor-grown carbon fibers different forms of amorphous nanocarbons besides carbon nanotubes fullerenes graphene graphene nanoribbons graphene quantum dots etc. in a single volume. | Carbon Nanomaterials Synthesis Structure Properties and Applications
