Handbook of Graphene : Energy, Healthcare, and Environmental Applications

The fourth volume in a series of handbooks on graphene research and applications

The Handbook of Graphene, Volume 4: Composites looks at composite materials exclusively. Topics covered include graphene composites and graphene-reinforced advanced composite materials. The following graphene-based subjects are discussed: ceramic composites; composite nanostructures; composites with shape memory effect; and scroll structures. Chapters also address: the fabrication and properties of copper–graphene composites; graphene–metal oxide composite as an anode material in li-ion batteries; supramolecular graphene-based systems for drug delivery; and other graphene-related areas of interest to scientists and researchers.

Cengiz Ozkan obtained his PhD in Materials Science from Stanford University in 1997 and he is now a Professor at the Department of Materials Science & Engineering, University California Riverside, USA. His research areas include the bottom-up fabrication of bio-nano systems, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition of nanostructures, chemical vapor deposition of graphene, nanowire fabrics, photovoltaics and nanoelectronics. He has several US patents, over 40 patent disclosures and more than 100 technical publications. His awards include the FCRP/GRC Inventor Recognition Award, the TASSA Research Award and the Achievement in Technical Ingenuity Award.
