Biography
Dr. Kun’ichi Miyazawa received a D.E. degree from The University of Tokyo in 1987. He was a lecturer in the School of Engineering at The University of Tokyo, from 1989 to 2002, and moved to the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in 2002. He is currently engaged in the synthesis, characterization, and application of low-dimensional fullerene nanomaterials such as fullerene nanowhiskers, fullerene nanotubes, and fullerene nanosheets.
"If we defined nanocarbons such as CNTs and graphene as connected polymers, then fullerene nanowiskers and their families can be regarded as supermolecules based on a non-covalent assembly. Therefore the latter objects have huge flexibility and variety in their structures and functions. This book is full of bright future possibilities of fullerene nanowhiskers, the carbon supermolecules, and I strongly recommend it to readers."
—Dr. Katsuhiko Ariga - National Institute for Materials Science, Japan
