Description:
The success of the nanoscience and nanotechnology related research and products is connected with the technological exploitation of size effects in structures and materials. This most recent trend represents the main focus of the present book applied to carbon-based materials including nanocrystalline diamond, aerogels, and carbon nanotubes. The book compiles and details cutting-edge research, and several applications are described within the field of energy, microelectronics, and biomedicine. Beyond that, a perspective is given including a diversity of industrial applications and market opportunities for C-based nanoscale materials and devices in the future.
