Research and Markets has included a new book titled ‘Advances in Carbon Nanomaterials: Science and Applications’ to its database.
The comprehensive book is useful to scientists in nanotechnology and nanoscience who focus on carbon-based nanostructured materials as well as to graduates and postgraduates of engineering, materials science, chemistry and physics.
An emerging class of carbon nanomaterials, ranging from carbon nanohorns to carbon nanotubes, endohedral metallofullerenes and empty-caged fullerenes, has paved the way for extensive research related to nanotechnology. The unique structures and properties of these nanomaterials make them suitable for nanotechnology-related applications.
The book begins with the modeling and nomenclature of carbon nanomaterials. It provides numerous illustrations of thin films and surfaces of fullerenes, structure and morphology of carbon nanotubes and the classification of peapod materials using transmission electron microscopy.
The book discusses electro-optical properties, enrichment and self-assembly of carbon nanotubes, and chemical functionalization strategies of endohedral metallofullerenes and carbon nanohorns. The report offers an in-depth data pertaining to the use of functionalized carbon nanotubes in medicine applications and the use of endohedral metallofullerenes in quantum computing applications.
Each chapter of the book features extensive references and figures. Key topics covered in the report include Encyclopedia of Carbon Nanoforms, Surfaces and Thin Films of Fullerenes, High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Imaging of Carbon Nanostructures, Electronic and Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes, Fullerene-Based Electronics, Carbon Nanohorns: Chemical Functionalization, Endohedral Metallofullerene Functionalization, Quantum Computing with Endohedral Fullerenes, and Biomedical Applications With Functionalized Nanotubes.
