Fullerenes : Nanochemistry, Nanomagnetism, Nanomedicine, Nanophotonics

This book addresses the unique features of fullerenes that make them the keystones of carboneous nanoscience. The approach is based on the author's original concepts and explores the similarities and differences between fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. Using tables, graphs, and equations, it explores the similarities and differences between fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. In doing so, this book helps readers to better understand the possibilities of computational nanotechnology and to describe these methods in synthesis and in several applications. Read more...

These Visual Aids Help Readers To Better Understand The Possibilities Of Computational Nanotechnology--provided By Publisher. Elena Sheka. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. At the interface between chemistry, biology, and physics, fullerenes were one of the first objects to be dissected, scanned, and studied by the modern multi-specialty biotech community and are currently thriving in both research and practical application. Other members of the sp2 nanocarbon family, such as nanotubes and graphene, are currently bein
