This book provides a practical platform to the readers for facile preparation of various forms of carbon in its nano-format, investigates their structureproperty relationship, and finally, realizes them for a variety of applications taking the route of application engineering. It covers the preparation and evaluation of nanocarbons, variety of carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, additively manufactured 3D carbon fibres, their properties, and various factors associated with them. A summary and outlook of the nanocarbon field is included in the appendices.
Features:
Presents comprehensive information on nanocarbon synthesis and properties and some specific applicationsCovers the growth of carbon nanoparticles, nanotubes, ribbons, graphene, graphene derivatives, porous/spongy phases, graphite, and 3D carbon fabricsDocuments a large variety of characterizations and evaluations on the nature of growth causing effect on structure propertiesContains dedicated chapters on miniaturized, flat, and 2D devicesDiscusses a variety of applications from military to public domains, including prevalent topics related to carbon.
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in materials science and materials engineering, and physics.
