Description

Graphene Quantum Dots and their Derived Nanocomposites: Fundamentals and Applications presents the latest advances, with emphasis placed on the structure, design, properties, processing, and technical relevance of graphene quantum dots in thermosets, thermoplastics, conducting, rubbery, and inorganic matrix nanocomposites. Applications of graphene quantum dot reinforced nanocomposites are discussed in applications in energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, Li ion batteries, solar cells), in coatings, radiation protection, for environmental sustainability, and for biomedical (biosensing, imaging, drug therapy) systems.

The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, and nanotechnologists working on the research and development of high-performance graphene quantum dots-based nanomaterials.
