Preface
We are delighted to present the fourth two-volume set (Volumes 7 and 8) of The Handbook of Carbon Nanomaterials. Multiple new findings on nanocarbons, both fundamental aspects and applications, are continuously emerging, making topics in this field of extreme interest to numerous scientists, both in academia and in industry. The current set of volumes contains chapters from well-known scientists in their respective research fields and describes recent advances in the field of carbon nanomaterials
The first Handbook of Carbon Nanomaterials comprised 23 chapters in two volumes which summarized research developments in the field of carbon nanomaterials as seen through the eyes of more than three dozen leading researchers from around the world. The topics covered four general areas. The first dealt with th...
