Description
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 coppergraphene composites; graphenemetal 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.
