The Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook contains extensive, interdisciplinary coverage of carbon nanomaterials, encompassing the full scope of the field--from physics, chemistry, and materials science to molecular biology, engineering, and medicine--in two comprehensive volumes.

Written in a tutorial style, this second volume of the sourcebook:

• 
  
  
• Focuses on nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanofibers, nanoporous structures, and nanocomposites
• 
  
  
• Describes the fundamental properties, growth mechanisms, and processing of each nanomaterial discussed
• 
  
  
• Explores functionalization for electronic, energy, biomedical, and environmental applications
• 
  
  
• Showcases materials with exceptional properties, synthesis methods, large-scale production techniques, and application prospects
• 
  
  
• Provides the tools necessary for understanding current and future technology developments, including important equations, tables, and graphs
• 
  
  

Each chapter is dedicated to a different type of carbon nanomaterial and addresses three main areas: formation, properties, and applications. This setup allows for quick and easy search, making the Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook: Nanoparticles, Nanocapsules, Nanofibers, Nanoporous Structures, and Nanocomposites a must-have reference for scientists and engineers.
