Wiley Handbook of Graphene, Volume 4: Composites

The fourth volume in a series of handbooks on graphene research and applicationsThe 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. From the Inside Flap This unique multidisciplinary 8-volume set focuses on the emerging issues concerning graphene materials and provides a shared platform for both researcher and industry.The Handbook of Graphene comprises 140 chapters from world renowned experts and presents in a unique eight-volume format covering all aspects relating to graphene—its development, synthesis, application techniques, and integration methods; its modification and functionalization; its characterization tools and related 2D materials; physical, chemical, and biological studies of graphene and related 2D materials; graphene composites; use of graphene in energy, healthcare, and environmental applications (electronics, photonics, spintronics, bioelectronics and optoelectronics, photovoltaics, energy storage, fuel cells and hydrogen storage, and graphene-based devices); its large-scale production and characterization; as well as graphene-related 2D material innovations and their commercialization. Volume 4 is solely focused on selected topics in graphene composites materials and provides an overview of the multitude of different research directions that are currently being taken at the international level.
