Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook

The first of two volumes in the sourcebook this text focuses on graphene fullerenes nanotubes and nanodiamonds showcasing carbon nanomaterials with exceptional qualities and prospects. It describes the fundamental properties growth mechanisms and processing of each nanomaterial discussed as well as explores functionalization for electronic energy biomedical and environmental applications. The text 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 nanomaterial allowing for quick and easy search. <p>The <strong>Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook</strong> 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.</p><p>Written in a tutorial style, this first volume of the sourcebook:</p><ul> <li>Focuses on graphene, fullerenes, nanotubes, and nanodiamonds</li> <li>Describes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussed</li> <li>Explores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applications</li> <li>Showcases materials with exceptional properties, synthesis methods, large-scale production techniques, and application prospects</li> <li>Provides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphs</li> </ul><p>Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of carbon nanomaterial and addresses three main areas: formation, properties, and applications.
