This book will give a detailed description of different carbon
based materials synthesis methods, characterization, and
applications. It serves as a fundamental information source on the
actual techniques and methodologies involved in carbon materials
synthesis, such as CVD, plasma in liquids, fusion reactors, or
frequency-doubled yttrium-aluminum- garnet (YAG) lasers. This book
includes coverage of several categories of carbon materials, such
as graphene, carbon fiber composites, functionalized carbons, and
polyimides used for various applications, from microelectronic
industry to slotted waveguide antennas.

In a war that's not hers she loses everything. Everything she loses
is because of him. Forgiveness is not an option. Or maybe it is...
=============================== Cindy C Bennett--Author of Geek
Girl She does it again In her sophomore effort, Skiba delivers a
fascinating, tug-at-your-heartstrings story. David and Cassandra
grab you from the first page and refuse to let you go until you
find out if they get their happily ever after. Written against the
backdrop of the Iraqi war, their love story is riddled with the
pain and terror of living in the middle of so much violence. Skiba
balances the beauty of love with the horrors of war without
compromising either. A World Apart gets an A+.
=============================== Treasured Books Club -- Beta-reader
Without taking away from the gravity of the Iraq war, A World Apart
will get you laugh and cry at once. Communication between a man and
a woman has always been tricky even when they do speak the same
language. Imagine what happens when English is not one's native
tongue. It would make you laugh out loud. The amount of drama and
heartbreak will keep you up at night. You better keep a box of
tissues next to you--you'll need it. A true piece of art, give it a
chance. You won't regret it.
Tessa Cosma is a deceptively sweet businesswoman who knows how to
ride the wave of chaos in corrupt, post-communist Romania to
maintain the lifestyle she so carefully built for herself. Her
ideal world shatters when an unplanned pregnancy ends after a
brutal assault. To compound her troubles, she must unravel a fraud
accusation that threatens her reputation and career. Alessandro
Santinelli, the charismatic Italian banker with whom she spent an
incredible, lust-filled night months ago, comes to her rescue. But
Tessa refuses his help and chooses to rise above the devastating
forces of death, betrayal and fraud to prove her innocence and
discover her true self. Throughout Tessa's journey towards
forgiveness and redemption, Alessandro guards over her from a
distance. He provides her the space and time she needs to heal,
meanwhile hoping to recapture something he believes was lost and
unattainable. ================================= 5 STARS REVIEW
Camelia Miron Skiba does a fantastic job of telling us Tessa's
story, pulling the reader into the heart of both Tessa and
Alessandro. Their actions - and reactions - are realistic to the
circumstances they find themselves in. You'll find yourself rooting
for the both of them to find the healing they search for. That the
story is set in the authenticity of Romania only makes the story
that much richer. What a great glimpse into a place that many of us
have never been able to visit."-- Cindy C Bennett, Author of "Geek
Girl" and "Heart on a Chain"-- 5 STARS REVIEW "I really enjoy
romance novels like this. While a good majority are very cut and
dry, this one takes you on an emotional journey with Tessa and
Alessandro, and the very unconventional development of their
relationship. It moves from majorly being a sexual attraction to
something deeper, something that heals Tessa and Alessandro both,
without them even realizing it. I also liked the fact that we get
to see this develop in a woman not from a first world country, one
with different ideals and different morals and an entirely
different approach to life and love and family. This book goes on
such an adventure, but one that is more mental and emotional than
physical. There are plenty of twists and turns, a couple surprises,
and an ending that will leave you satisfied but still wanting more.
You won't be able to put the book down once you start, trust me."--
