Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook : Nanoparticles, Nanocapsules, Nanofibers, Nanoporous Structures, and Nanocomposites, Volume II

The second of two volumes in the sourcebook, this text focuses on nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanofibers, nanoporous structures, and nanocomposites, showcasing carbon nanomaterials with exceptional qualities and prospects. It describes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussed, as well as explores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applications. The text provides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphs. Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of nanomaterial, allowing for quick and easy search.

The Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook contains extensive, interdisciplinary coverage of carbon nanomaterials, encompassing the full scope of the field—from physics, chemistry, and materials science to molecular biology, engineering, and medicine—in two comprehensive volumes.

Written in a tutorial style, this second volume of the sourcebook:

• Focuses on nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanofibers, nanoporous structures, and nanocomposites
• Describes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussed
• Explores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applications
• Showcases materials with exceptional properties, synthesis methods, large-scale production techniques, and application prospects
• Provides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphs

Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of carbon nanomaterial and addresses three main areas: formation, properties, and applications. This setup allows for quick and easy search, making the Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook: Nanoparticles, Nanocapsules, Nanofibers, Nanoporous Structures, and Nanocomposites a must-have reference for scientists and engineers.
