Pure and Functionalized Carbon Based Nanomaterials

This book describes in a comprehensive manner latest studies conducted by various research groups worldwide focusing on carbon and related nanomaterials. Fourteen chapters of this book deal with a number of key research topics and applications of pure and functionalized carbon nanomaterials and their hybrid nanocomposites. Specifically the authors have presented interdisciplinary investigations including: (i) carbon nanoparticles and layers synthesis (ii) analytical aspects of carbon nanomaterials and their characterisation under different conditions as well as (iii) various applications of carbon nanoparticles. They have reported and summarised key applications of carbon particles or nanoobjects in pharmacy biomedicine agriculture and food industry water treatment physicochemical analysis optoelectronics electronic and magnetic materials for supercapacitors or radar adsorbing materials tribology chromatography electrophoresis bioanalysis nanobiocatalysis biofuels production as well as environmental remediation.
