Advances in Carbon Nanomaterials: Science and Applications
Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. Ltd, Dec 2011, Pages: 400
A promising class of carbon-based nanostructured materials, varied from empty-caged fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes to carbon nanotubes and nanohorns, has led to an explosion of research associated with nanotechnology. The great potential of these materials for nanotechnology-associated applications has been widely recognized because of their exclusive structures and novel properties.
This book presents contributions by experts in diverse fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and medicine, providing a comprehensive survey of the current state of knowledge of this constantly expanding subject. The book starts with the nomenclature and modeling of carbon nanomaterials and then presents a variety of examples on surfaces and thin films of fullerenes as well as gives an insight into the morphology and structure of carbon nanotubes and the characterization of peapod materials with the aid of transmission electron microscopy. Subsequently, it presents electro-optical properties and self-assembly and enrichment in carbon nanotubes, followed by strategies for the chemical functionalization of carbon nanohorns and endohedral metallofullerenes. Finally, the applications of endohedral metallofullerenes in quantum computing and of functionalized carbon nanotubes in medicine conclude this fascinating overview of the field.
