Carbon Nanotechnology

The discipline of carbon nanotechnology, which has had a significant influence on the development of new nanotechnologies, has become genuinely multidisciplinary and involves the study of materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, and other natural and social sciences. With up-to-date analyses and observations by recognised professionals, Carbon Nanotechnology seeks to give timely coverage of the most recent developments in the area. Carbon Nanotechnology, intended to be an exposition of cutting-edge research and development rather than a sort of conference proceeding, will be very helpful not only to experienced scientists and engineers who wish to broaden their knowledge of the varied nanotechnology and/or to develop practical devices. Common elements include carbon. Diamond, graphite, coal, activated carbon, and carbon black are a few of its forms. Each year, millions of tonnes of these materials are utilised in a variety of products, such as abrasives, tyres, and water treatment. A molecule at the nm scale called a fullerene is a very distinct kind of carbon. Richard Smalley and colleagues at Rice University made the claim that fullerenes were "found" for the first time in 1985, although as a molecular substance, E.G. Osawa deserves the credit for having originally hypothesised the existence of fullerenes a decade earlier. It was dubbed the Buckminster Fullerene, or Fullerene, because of its similarity to Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome.
