Overview

Providing detailed knowledge about fullerene nanowhiskers and the related low-dimensional fullerene nanomaterials, this book introduces tubular nanofibers made of fullerenes, fullerene nanotubes, as well as the single crystalline thin film made of C60, called fullerene nanosheet. It is the first publication featuring the fullerene nanowhiskers made of C60, C70, and C60 derivatives and so forth. It demonstrates the synthetic method (liquid--liquid interfacial precipitation method) and the physical and chemical properties such as electrical, mechanical, optical, magnetic, thermodynamic, and surface properties for the fullerene nanowhiskers, including their electronic device application.

Reviews

<p> At long last, we now have a comprehensive source for intelligent scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Intelligent scaffolds have been called the essential element of regenerative medicine, alongside the established aspects of cell biology and materials science, and upon which the future scientific breakthroughs will rest. Gilson Khang, a leader in the field, has partnered with other leading scientists in creating this book, which covers a wide range of materials and topics, from design and production to applications and functionality. This book is a must for the library of all individuals involved in the field. <br> Prof. Anthony Atala - Wake Forest University, USA<br><br> This book written by prominent experts in the field gives an excellent and timely introduction for those entering into the area of tissue engineering. Especially, it reviews many of the current techniques and materials for scaffold preparation. In addition, readers will also find it to be a good, up-to-date review that provides modern techniques for growth factor delivery, along with in vitro and in vivo outcome, to facilitate understanding the relationship between physiochemical structure and biological properties <br> Prof. J ns Hilborn - Uppsala University, Sweden<br><br> This book is a comprehensive treatment of the techniques and technologies required to develop scaffolds for regenerative medicine applications. The authors are some of the leaders in the field, and together these chapters provide up to date information on this very important area. <br> Prof. Robert M. Nerem - Georgia Institute of Technology, USA
