Since their discovery in 2011, MXenes (2D carbides, nitrides, and
carbonitrides of early transition metals) have developed into one
of the largest and most intensively studied families of 2D
materials. They offer unique properties and are being explored in a
large variety of applications. This book compiles the most
important research from a pioneer of the field, Professor Yury
Gogotsi, and his interdisciplinary research team, as well as
numerous collaborators worldwide. It reports on the discovery and
rise of MXenes and describes their synthesis and processing,
properties, and incorporation into polymer, ceramic, and metal
matrices to produce composites. It also discusses the potential of
MXenes for use in energy storage, optics, electronics, and sensing,
as well as biomedical, environmental, and electrocatalysis
applications. The book will appeal to anyone interested in
nanomaterials and their synthesis, properties, and applications.
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.
This book provides information on synthesis, properties, and
applications of carbon nanomaterials. With novel materials, such as
graphene (atomically flat carbon) or carbon onions (carbon
nanospheres), the family of carbon nanomaterials is rapidly
growing. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview and
in-depth analysis of the most important carbon nanomaterials. Each
chapter is written by a leading expert in the field which ensures
that both, a review on the subject along with emerging perspectives
are provided to the reader.

This title features 11 new chapters unique to this edition,
including chapters on grain boundaries in graphene, 2D metal
carbides and carbonitrides, mechanics of carbon nanotubes and
nanomaterials, biomedical applications, oxidation and purification
of carbon nanostructures, sintering of nanoceramics, hydrothermal
processing, nanofibers, and nanomaterials safety. It offers a
comprehensive approach with a focus on inorganic and carbon-based
nanomaterials, including fundamentals, applications, synthesis, and
characterization. This book also provides a unique angle from the
nanomaterial point of view on application, synthesis, and
characterization not found in any other nanomaterials book on the
market.
Future advancements in MEMS, aerospace applications, information
storage, biotechnology and many other fields will require extensive
use of engineered surfaces and interfaces. While many surface
modification processes are available today, the application of
these processes, as well as an understanding of their limitations,
will require a fundamental knowledge of a broad spectrum of
processing and properties issues. New experimental techniques show
promise in helping to advance the technology of engineered
surfaces. This book covers a range of topics related to surface
engineering, surface modification and surface mechanics and
reflects the interactions of researchers from many fields whose
goal it is to enhance performance of engineered components and
devices. Topics include: the effects of coating nanostructure on
hardness; new developments in super-low friction coatings; control
of stresses during surface modification; modification of surfaces
and coatings using ion beams and lasers; and new methods for
synthesizing and characterizing engineered surfaces and coatings.
There is need for non-toxic, biocompatible nanoparticles for
various applications in the field of nano-engineering. Reduction of
size to nano-scale is required to enhance material properties such
as bioavailability, drug release and dissolution kinetics.
Nanoscale particles are especially important for hydrophobic
substances due to their unacceptably slow dissolution kinetics in
aqueous gastrointestinal tract-type environments, which has
resulted in inefficient oral drug delivery. Dry media assisted
milling was optimized for two materials; a soft lipophilic drug,
fenofibrate and a relatively hard material, nanodiamond.
In many instances of mechanical interaction between two materials,
the physical
contact affects only the outermost surface layer, with little
discernible influence on the bulk of the material. The resultant
high pressures in these localised regimes can induce surface
structural changes such as deformation, phase transformation and
amorphization. The understanding of these physical phenomena is
critical in the study of common 'contact loading' processes such as
scratching, grinding, milling, polishing, indentation testing,
wear, friction and erosion.
