Description:
The book includes 11 new chapters, on topics such as graphene, biomedical applications, nanoceramics, 2D metal carbides and carbonitrides, and safety of nanomaterials. It continues its comprehensive approach covering fundamentals to applications and materials basics to tailored design, with 22 chapters authored by leading international experts.
Review Quotes:
"The Nanotechnology Handbook provides valuable introductions to many important topics, as well as the more detailed information needed to begin advanced research. Professors Yury Gogotsi and Volker Presser should be congratulated on their choice of topics and authors, which makes this volume so useful."
--Ray H. Baughman, University of Texas at Dallas, USA
"...a true tour de force on carbon based materials. Anyone searching for information on carbon nanomaterials will be extremely unfortunate if they do not find a detailed description/reference to it within these pages. Although a text that is clearly aimed at the expert, and possibly the expert researcher at that, it is accessible to graduate physicists and materials scientists and could well provide an extremely well-informed introduction to the field to the new graduate student. The Editor has done a tremendous job of choosing a well-informed group of experts, who pass on knowledge in a confident and articulate manner."
--John F. Watts, University of Surrey, United Kingdom
