Infos

This book compiles all current information on the different types of functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene, both covalent and non-covalent. The book starts with a general overview of the synthesis, characterization and application of functionalized CNTs and graphene. Special attention is dedicated to the characterization of functionalized materials, a topic rarely addressed on the literature. The authors provide a comparison between the functionalization of these two types of carbon materials.

Dr. Luciana Cividanes is an engineer and researcher at the Chemistry Department of Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), Brazil. Her research interests include composites of carbon nanotubes/polymer and functionalization of carbon nanotubes.

Dr. Gilmar Thim is a chemist and Professor in the Physics Department of the Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA), Brazil. His current research interests are on graphene nanocomposites.
