Carbon Nanotechnology

As a key influencer of emerging nanotechnologies, carbon nanotechnology has developed into a fully multidisciplinary discipline that integrates elements of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, materials science, and engineering. The goal of Carbon Nanotechnology is to deliver timely coverage of the most current advancements in the subject with up-to-date analyses and observations from eminent authorities. Carbon Nanotechnology, which is 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 seasoned scientists and engineers who wish to expand their knowledge of the broad field of nanotechnology and/or to develop useful devices. A frequent element is carbon. Activated carbon, coal, diamond, graphite, and carbon black are a few of its forms. Abrasives, tyres, and water treatment are just a few of the uses for the millions of tonnes of these materials that are utilised annually. An nm-sized molecule known as a fullerene is a very distinct kind of carbon. Although E.G. Osawa, a Japanese scientist, initially postulated the existence of fullerenes a decade earlier, the first fullerenes were "found" in 1985 by Richard Smalley and colleagues at Rice University. However, as a molecular substance, that honour belongs to E.G. It was given the nickname Buckminster Fullerene, or Fullerene, because of its likeness to the geodesic dome Buckminster Fuller designed.
