New Advances in Carbon Nanomaterials: Faraday Discussions, cartea 173

This volume focuses on the wide variety of carbon nanomaterials and their diverse applications.

Carbon nanomaterials have a unique place in nanoscience owing to their exceptional electrical, thermal, chemical and mechanical properties and have found application in diverse areas such as composite materials, energy storage and conversion, sensors, drug delivery, field emission devices and nanoscale electronic components.

Carbon nanomaterials are truly interdisciplinary, and are a topic of research for chemists, material scientists and physicists. The emphasis of this Faraday Discussion is on three key areas of research; carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and graphene. These materials have much, often unrealised, common ground, and provide an excellent opportunity for collaboration between researchers from different backgrounds and disciplines.

Topics covered in this volume include: Optoelectronics and spectroscopy, electronic properties; Functional materials and theory; Applications, composites, nanoelectronic devices; Functionalisation, separation, solvation and assembly.
