Preface
Carbon is a prime element used widely in various aspects of human civilization,
since it forms strong bonds than any other materials in different forms. In the past
few decades, several carbon-based nano-materials have been developed through
various synthesis processes. The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based
nano-materials enable new technologies for identifying and addressing varied field
challenges. This book critically assesses the contributions of carbon-based nano-
materials and related case studies in the allied field. The unique morphology and
multifaceted properties of Carbon has enabled them to be used in multidisciplinary
fields.
This special volume on “Novel Applications of Carbon Based Nano-
Materials” published by CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group mainly deals with
different types of allotropes and forms of Carbon that are widely used in the field
of Energy Storage, Waste Water Treatment, Mechanical Engineering and Medical
Applications. This book consists of total 21 Chapters contributed by Experts and
Researchers in their respective fields, broadly classified here under 4 different
categories.
Part I covers the area of Photo catalytic and Energy Storage Applications;
where the chapters mainly cover the topics of Carbon Quantum Dots synthesis
and application in the photo catalytic applications and mainly projects the super
capacitors application for energy storage using carbon based nano-materials.
Part II illustratively discusses the use of carbon based nano-materials for
Mechanical and Engineering Applications; wherein the chapters mainly deal
with the synthesis of the Carbon nanomaterials or their composites which have
the Thermal, Aerospace, Tribological and other allied mechanical or Engineering
applications.
Part III deals with Bioscience and Medical Applications discussing the recent
trends in the field of biomedical. The use of nanotechnology against Corona Virus
and removal of antibiotics is discussed here. This section also covers scope and
challenges for Green synthesis of functional nano particles.
Part IV covers the Waste Water Treatment and Environmental Applications;
subdivided into chapters which precisely cover the Socio-economic Impact of Waste
management especially targeting water treatments. Apart the impacts of carbon-
based nanomaterials in biological and allied systems are also discussed in the
said section.
vi Preface
We hope this volume will be very much helpful not only to the researchers in
the field of Nanotechnology and Carbon-based nano-materials; but also the students
studying in the allied areas. It is our pleasure to offer sincere gratitude to all the
authors for their valuable contributions and the reviewers for the improvement of the
articles. We extend our thanks to the publisher for creating and making us to avail
the platform.
