Nanocarbons

This book provides a practical platform to the readers for facile preparation of various forms of carbon in its nano-format, investigates their structure-property 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:
