Summary:

Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene is a timely second edition of the original Science and Technology of Carbon Nanotubes.Updated to include expanded coverage of the preparation, purification, structural characterization, and common application areas of single- and multi-walled CNT structures, this work compares, contrasts, and, where appropriate.
