Low-dimensional Materials and Applications

Low-dimensional Materials and Applications systematically introduces the preparation and performance of low-dimensional materials, such as carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, graphene etc, as well as their applications in environmental pollution control, electronics, coating industry and defense technologies. Written with a practical focus and containing abundant examples, it is well suited for both researchers and engineers.

Lightweight carbon materials include not only the traditional materials of long history such as activated carbon, graphite, and other new materials, but also some other materials that are better than the traditional materials with excellent and special properties, such as carbon nanotubes and carbon fiber. Because of the large specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity, good chemical stability, high catalytic activity, and easy and excellent repeated application, they are widely applied in the fields of industry, agriculture, national defense, transportation, medicine, health and environmental protection, and so on. Their demand is increasing every year with the development of society and the improvement of people’s standard of living.

This book is a summary of the research results of the authors. In consulting some domestic and foreign literature data about the carbon materials in treatment of pollutants, electromagnetic wave and electromagnetic shielding of stealth and poison protection, combined with some results we got in these fields, this book systematically introduces the photocatalysts or absorbents for the special pollutants, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, liquid propellant protection fabrics, the preparation, function and modification of electromagnetic shielding fabrics and other materials, electromagnetic stealth materials, the national defense environment protection, the electromagnetic protection, and the liquid propellant protection.
