Titelbeschreibung

The expansion of carbon materials is multidisciplinary and is related to physics, chemistry, biology, applied sciences and engineering. The research on carbon materials has mostly focused on aspects of fundamental physics as they unique electrical, thermal and mechanical properties applicable for the range of applications. The electrons in graphene and other derived carbon materials behave as dirac fermions due to their interaction with the ions of the lattice. This direction has led to the discovery of new phenomena such as Klein tunneling in carbon based solid state systems and the so-called half-integer quantum Hall effect. Advanced Carbon Materials and Technology presents cutting-edge chapters on the processing, properties and technological developments of graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, carbon particles and other carbon based structures including multifunctional graphene sheets, graphene quantum dots, bulky balls, carbon balls, and their polymer composites. This book brings together respected international scholars writing on the innovative methodologies and strategies adopted in carbon materials research area including <ul> <li>Synthesis, characterization and functionalization of carbon nanotubes and graphene</li> <li>Surface modification of graphene</li> <li>Carbon based nanostructured materials</li> <li>Graphene and carbon nanotube based electrochemical (bio)sensors for environmental monitoring</li> <li>Carbon catalysts for hydrogen storage materials</li> <li>Optical carbon nanoobjects</li> <li>Graphene and carbon nanotube based biosensors</li> <li>Carbon doped cryogel films</li> <li>Bioimpact of carbon nanomaterials</li> <li>Photocatalytic nature of carbon nanotube based composites</li> <li>Engineering behavior of ash fills</li> <li>Fly ash syntactic foams microstructure</li> </ul>

A broad and comprehensive look at cutting-edge research on carbon-based materials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon composites, and fly ash engineering The expansion of carbon materials is a multidisciplinary undertaking, related to physics, chemistry, biology, the applied sciences, and engineering. The recent research on carbon materials has been focused, in large part, on aspects of the fundamental physics of carbon materials, such as their properties. However, with a greater understanding of the behavior of electrons in graphene and other newly-derived carbon materials that behave in distinctive ways, a new research direction has led to many discoveries of new phenomena. Advanced Carbon Materials and Technology presents cutting-edge research on the processing, properties and technological developments of graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, carbon particles, and other carbon-based structures including multifunctional graphene sheets, graphene quantum dots, buckyballs, carbon balls, and their polymer composites. Also included are three chapters on how to use environmentally-unfriendly fly ash in developing advanced composites for the next generation of advanced lightweight composites. The book brings together respected international scholars writing on the innovative methodologies and strategies adopted in carbon materials research, including: <ul> <li>Synthesis, characterization, and functionalization of carbon nanotubes and graphene</li> <li>Surface modification of graphene</li> <li>Carbon-based nanostructured materials</li> <li>Graphene and carbon nanotube-based electrochemical (bio)sensors for environmental monitoring</li> <li>Carbon catalysts for hydrogen storage materials</li> <li>Optical carbon nano-objects</li> <li>Fly ash engineering and cryogels</li> </ul> Readership Scientists, researchers, and engineers in advanced materials research; industrial sectors intending to produce these advanced functional carbon materials utilizing state-of-the-art techniques; and PhD, master’s degree, and upper-level undergraduate-level courses on materials processing, properties and applications in chemistry, physics, biotechnology, materials science, and biomedical engineering aspects.
