Rio Jaeger, Hubert Industrial Carbon and Graphite Materials (3527336036)
An excellent overview of industrial carbon and graphite materials, especially their manufacture, use and applications in industry. Following a short introduction, the main part of this reference deals with industrial forms, their raw materials manufacturing, properties and manifold applications. New are the chapters on carbon and graphite materials in energy application and as catalysts. It covers all important classes of carbon and graphite, from polygranular materials to fullerenes, and from nanotubes to activated carbon. Most of the chapters are based on articles from Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, with each contribution updated and enlarged. Indispensable for chemists working in such fields as electrochemistry, mechanical engineering, nuclear technology, nanotechnology, catalysis, ceramics, fibers, and polymers.
