Carbon Materials and Nanotechnology

The structural diversity of nanoscience and of carbon is immense. This book provides an introduction into the field of carbon nanotechnology covering everything from nanowires to nanodiamonds, synthesis and applications.
From the contents:
∗ Carbon
∗ Fullerenes
∗ Carbon nanotubes
∗ Carbon onions and related structures
∗ Nanodiamonds
∗ Diamond films
Of interest not only for students but for all material scientists as well as organic and inorganic chemists, or anyone in need of a quick overview of the field. Included at the back of the book is a handy Do–It–Yourself kit for building fullerenes and nanotubes which is a great aid to help with understanding.
