It is well known that solid carbons can be found in various guises
with different forms of bulk phases (graphites, diamonds and
carbynes) as well as more molecular forms (fullerenes, nanotubes
and graphenes) resulting from recent discoveries.
The cause of this rich polymorphism is analyzed in the first
part of this book (chapters 1-5) with the propensity of carbon
atoms for forming different types of homopolar chemical bonds
associated with variable coordination numbers. Precursor organic
molecules and parent compounds are also described to establish
specific links with this rich polymorphism.
Then in a second part (chapters 6-10) a comparative review of
the main classes of bulk physical properties is presented. This
approach emphasizes in particular the electronic behavior of (pi)
polyaromatic systems organized in plane and curved atomic sheets.
Finally in a third part (chapters 11-15) the surface and interface
characteristics are introduced together with the texture and
morphology of these multiscale carbon materials. An overview of the
main field of applications is related showing the large use and
interest for these solids.
