BOOK DESCRIPTION
TABLE OF CONTENTS

All-carbon composites are carbon materials reinforced with other carbon materials, typically nanostructures such as carbon nanofibers or nanotubes. There are a large number of all-carbon materials, many of which demonstrate unique and useful sets of properties. Combining and hybridising different carbon materials and nanomaterials together also opens up a number of possibilities to fine-tune the materials for desirable combinations of these properties.

All-carbon Composites and Hybrids provides a broad overview of these materials including discussions of synthesis, characterisation and the applications of a wide variety of all-carbon composite materials. This will be a useful volume for any researchers interested in carbon and nanotechnology.

Hybrids of Graphite, Graphene and Graphene Oxide; Production of Carbon Nanostructure/Graphene Oxide Composites by Self-assembly and their Applications; Synthesis of Carbon Nanotube/Graphene Hybrids by Chemical Vapor Deposition; Design of Graphene/CNT-based Nanocomposites: A Stepping Stone for Energy-related Applications; One-dimensional Carbon Nanotube Decorated Two-dimensional Reduced Graphene Oxide Composite: Insight from Synthesis to Application in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells; Carbon Dot-based Composites: Recent Progress, Challenges and Future Outlook; Carbon Dots Derived from Natural Carbon Sources: Preparation, Chemical Functionalization, Characterization, and Applications; Composites of Carbon Nanodots for Hydrogen Energy Generation; Clusters of Fullerenes; Less-common Carbon–Carbon Nanocomposites; Advances in Polymeric Nanocomposites Incorporating Graphene–Fullerene and Graphene Oxide–Fullerene Hybrids; Mechanical Properties of Graphene–Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Hybrid Polymer Nanocomposites; Final Remarks
