Carbon Based Nanomaterials : Handbook.

Carbon is an essential constituent element of all living organisms. A unique feature of carbon is the variety of forms that it can assume when two or more atoms bond. Carbon has thus attracted, and continues to attract, considerable R & D interest from researchers all over the world. The use of...
