1st Edition
New Forms of Carbon Nanocarbons
This new book provides a detailed overview of some of the fundamental aspects of nanocarbons and their allotropic forms, their preparation techniques, and their applications in several fields of interest. New forms of carbon have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of research, including drug delivery, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, high-strength physics, structural engineering, and more. This volume covers the recent literature on carbon with emphasis on the emerging carbon-based materials developed to date, studies of their properties, and possible prototypes fabricated for practical applications. It covers myriad carbon-based nanomaterials of distinctive features and their application in various fields.
