Topics in Applied Physics Carbon Nanotubes: Advanced Topics in the Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications, Book 111, (Hardcover)

The carbon nanotubes field has evolved substantially since the 2001 publication of the editors' bestselling Carbon Nanotubes: Synthesis, Structure, Properties and Applications. Like the first volume, this second volume integrates physics, chemical physics, and applications for a unique perspective on nanotubes. It builds on the success of its predecessor by focusing on those areas that have grown rapidly since publication of the first volume. Contributing authors reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the book and are all leaders in their particular areas of research. Careful editing by the renowned team of editors ensures that articles are thorough, accurate, and easy to follow. Throughout the presentation, the authors highlight new and emerging applications and point out directions for future research. Extensive use of illustrations enables researchers in nanotechnology to better understand and visualize key concepts and processes.
