Cutting-edge coverage of carbon nanoscale science
This definitive volume offers an in-depth look at the unique properties and potential applications of carbon nanomaterials (CNM). Beginning with a description of various CNM types, Carbon Nanoforms and Applications addresses the need to develop a new classification of carbon. After discussing the fundamental physics, the book covers techniques for CNM synthesis and characterization. This authoritative resource then provides comprehensive information on the physico-chemical and biosystems applications of CNMs.
Carbon Nanoforms and Applications covers:
Theoretical aspects of CNM
Synthesis and characterization of CNM
Electron field emission
Fuel cells
Electric double-layer capacitors
Hydrogen storage
Lithium-ion batteries
Carbon solar cells
Microwave absorption
Carbon nanosensors
Biosystems
Cancer treatment
Nano-enabled drug delivery
Antimicrobial properties
Tissue fabrication
Neurogenesis
Food and cosmetics
