Research and Markets has included a new book, titled ‘Carbon Meta-Nanotubes: Synthesis, Properties and Applications,’ from John Wiley and Sons to its catalogue.
Meta-Nanotubes are a new class of carbon nanotubes produced by chemically transforming standard carbon nanotubes and subsequently combining them with foreign materials such as nanocrystals, chemical groups, molecules and atoms using different techniques such as substitution, filling, doping and functionalization.
These new generation nanomaterials demonstrate improved or new exotic properties such as magnetism, solubility, reactivity, which are not possessed by pristine carbon nanotubes. They find use in a variety of applications, which include reinforced ceramics and glasses, drug delivery, solar cells, bio and chemical sensors, optoelectronic devices and electronic devices.
The comprehensive book discusses the properties, applications and production techniques of these third generation carbon nanotubes in detail. It starts with a general introduction of the subject. The five key categories of meta-nanotubes covered in the book include Doped Carbon Nanotubes, Functionalised Carbon Nanotubes, Decorated or Coated Carbon Nanotubes, Filled Carbon Nanotubes, and Heterogeneous Nanotubes.
This book is helpful to people working on carbon nanotubes as it provides an in-depth analysis of these meta-tubes or third-generation carbon nanotubes and opportunities for future advancement.
Key topics covered in the report include Time for a Third-Generation of Carbon Nanotubes; Introducing Meta-Nanotubes; Introducing the Meta-Nanotube Book; Introduction to Carbon Nanotubes; Doped Carbon Nanotubes: (X:CNTs); Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes (X-CNTs); Decorated (Coated) Carbon Nanotubes (X/CNTs); Filled Carbon Nanotubes; and Heterogeneous Nanotubes (X*CNTs, X*BNNTs).
