Carbon Nano Forms and Applications

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
