Carbon-based Nanomaterials and Hybrids

<p>In recent decades nanotechnology has developed into a highly multidisciplinary topic drawing from a number of fields such as physics materials science biomedicine and different engineering disciplines. The success of nanoscience- and nanotechnology-related research and products is connected with the technological exploitation of size effects in structures and materials and is therefore related to its impact on the society of the future.</p><p>This most recent trend has been taken up here and represents the main focus of this book applied to carbon-based materials including nanocrystalline diamond aerogels and carbon nanotubes. The book compiles and details cutting-edge research and several applications are described within the field of energy microelectronics and biomedicine. Beyond that a perspective is given including a diversity of industrial applications and market opportunities for C-based nanoscale materials and devices in the future.</p>
