{"product_id":"9789814774871","title":"Fullerene Nanowhiskers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFullerenes became a new member of carbon allotropes in addition to diamond and graphite after the discovery of C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e (carbon 60) by Kroto et al. in 1985. The model of C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e was first proposed by Osawa in 1970. C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e is a hollow spherical molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms that contains 12 five-membered rings and 20 six-membered rings and has the same structure as a soccer ball. In 2001, C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs), which are single-crystal nanowhiskers solely composed of C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e molecules, were discovered in a colloidal solution of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) with added C\u003csub\u003e60\u003c\/sub\u003e. This book focuses on the synthesis of FNWs, fullerene nanotubes, and fullerene nanosheets and describes the structural, mechanical, semiconducting, and thermal properties, as well as bio-related and solar applications of FNWs and related fullerene nanomaterials. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jenny Stanford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46447492530417,"sku":"9789814774871","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9789814774871_p0.jpg?v=1765044610","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814774871","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
