'The field of carbon materials is huge and often difficult to
comprehend, but this book is easy to read and methodically covers
the subject, including presenting materials properties and
performance data with clear illustrations and graphs. References
include relevant older and up-to-date sources of information. The
book is tutorial style in nature and is an excellent resource for
senior undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and anyone
who wants to learn more about carbon and incorporate carbon
materials into new applications.'MRS BulletinElemental carbon
materials take numerous forms including graphite, carbon fiber,
carbon nanotube, graphene, carbon black, activated carbon,
fullerene and diamond. These forms differ greatly in the structure,
properties, fabrication method, and applications. The applications
of these carbon forms include electronic, electromagnetic,
electrochemical, environmental and biomedical applications. Carbon
materials are a subject of intense research, with strong relevance
to both science and technology.This book provides a tutorial-style
and up-to-date coverage of the carbon forms. In addition to an
introductory chapter on carbon materials, the book includes
chapters on graphite, graphene, carbon black, activated carbon,
carbon fibers, and carbon nanofibers/nanotubes. For example, the
chapter on graphite covers various materials in the graphite
family, including polycrystalline graphite, pyrolytic graphite,
turbostratic carbon, intercalated graphite, graphite oxide,
exfoliated graphite and flexible graphite, in addition to their
electronic and mechanical properties.This book is suitable for use
as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in science
and engineering, and as a reference book for professionals. It is
dedicated to the memory of the author's PhD thesis advisor,
Professor M S Dresselhaus (1930-2017) of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
