The seventh and eighth volumes of Handbook of Carbon Nano Materials focus on novel properties and applications of nanocarbons, viz., graphene, nanotube and fullerene. The books provide a comprehensive overview of the author's work, and significant discoveries and pioneering contributions from other groups. Specific applications cover latest developments in graphene synthesis, CVD of carbon nanomaterials, multifunctional carbon nanostructures, chemical manipulation, energy conversion and storage, nanotube micellar surface chemistry, and biosensor development. This is a highly useful book for graduate students, as well as beginning and senior researchers.
