Carbon nanotubes belong to new nanomaterials and have been known for almost 20 years, but their history is somewhat lengthier.

The development of new high-tech applications and devices has created a seemingly insatiable demand for novel functional materials with enhanced and tailored properties.

Also covered in this book are the formation of complex structures between biologically active molecules and carbon materials.

An overview of the optical effects in solids, this book addresses the physics of materials and their response to electromagnatic radiation--back cover.

The features of this new edition include: New and updated chapters on novel concepts in conducting polymers Details on interdisciplinary applications of conducting polymers An in depth description of classes of conducting polymers

The book is intended for researchers in the related fields of chemistry, physics, materials, nanomaterials and nanodevices. Meixiang Wan is a professor at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing.

The authors believe this book is a potential content for both professionals and academicians. This book is an effort to tether all the exuberant observations on adding nanomaterial in the TPE matrix.

All chapters were written by researchers who are active on the front lines. The chapters in this book will be helpful to many students, engineers and researchers working in the field of carbon nanotubes.

Presents the fundamentals and applications of nanofibrous materials and their structures to graduate students and researchers in materials science.
