Carbon nanomaterials have aunique place in Nanoscience owing to their exceptional electrical, thermal,chemical and mechanical properties and have found application in areas asdiverse as composite materials, energy storage and conversion, sensors, drug delivery,field emission devices and nano-scale electronic components. Conjugated carbonnanomaterial covers the areas of carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and graphene.Graphene is the newest of the carbon nanomaterials and promises to be a veryactive field. Already since its isolation in 2004 it has grabbed the attentionof the chemistry, materials and physics communities. It promises to rivalcarbon nanotubes in terms of properties and potential applications with thenumber of publications rising from ca. 130 in 2005 to ca. 2,800 in 2010. Inthis short book Sekhar Ray gives an overview on graphene and graphene-oxidewith a strong focus on applications. Structured in three chapters, one ongraphene, one on graphene-oxide and one on graphene based nanoparticles hisresource describes in each chapter the preparation (including synthesis andfunctionalization) and material properties before detailing a whole range ofapplications. Ray finishes each chapter with information on remainingchallenges and perspectives.·Written by an expert in the fieldwho, during his last 17 years of research, has published more than 80 peerreviewed articles in recognized international journals·Gives full-chapter overviews onGraphene, Graphene-Oxide, and Graphene based nanoparticles·Focusses on applications
