Preface
It is my privilege as the Editor-in-Chief to present to you an effort of our team of prominent contributors to this monograph on Carbon and Oxide Nanostructures. Over the past 20 years, carbon and oxide nanostructures evolved into one of the most studied objects and are presently entering in the transition phase from nanoscience to nanotechnology. Carbon and oxide nanostructures constitute an enormous topic which may only be described in a simplified manner, which in essence is the intent of this book. It is hoped that this book would provide valuable resources for researchers as well as postgraduate students of physics, chemistry and engineering. Related carbon-based materials such as fullerenes, carbon fiber, glassy carbon, carbon black, amorphous carbon, diamond, graphite, buckminsterfullerene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are discussed. CNTs which have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their fundamental and technical importance are elaborated. It also presents a review of the applications of fullerene and it
