Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook

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 nanodiamondsDescribes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussedExplores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applicationsShowcases materials with exceptional properties, synthesis methods, large-scale production techniques, and application prospectsProvides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphsEach 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.
