Size, Shape, and Synthesis Key to "Tuning" Properties The discovery
and rapid evolution of carbon nanotubes have led to a vastly
improved understanding of nanotechnology, as well as dozens of
possible applications for nanomaterials of different shapes and
sizes ranging from composites to biology, medicine, energy,
transportation, and electronic devices. Nanotubes and Nanofibers
offers an overview of structure-property relationships, synthesis
and purification, and potential applications of carbon nanotubes
and fibers, including whiskers, cones, nanobelts, and nanowires.
Using research on carbon nanotubes as a foundation to further
developments, this book discusses methods for growing and
synthesizing amorphous and nanocrystalline graphitic carbon
structures and inorganic nanomaterials, including wet chemical
synthesis, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), arc discharge, and
others. It also describes boron nitride and metal chalcogenide
nanotubes in detail and reviews the unique properties and methods
for characterizing and producing single-crystalline semiconducting
and functional-oxide nanowires. The chapters also identify
challenges involving the controlled growth, processing, and
assembly of organic and inorganic nanostructures that must be
addressed before large-scale applications can be implemented.
Edited by award-winning professor and researcher Dr. Yury Gogotsi,
Nanotubes and Nanofibers offers a well-rounded perspective on the
advances leading to improved nanomaterial properties for a range of
new devices and applications including electronic devices,
structural composites, hydrogen and gas storage, electrodes in
electrochemical energy-storage systems, sorbents, and filters.
