From last two decades, the use of various carbonaceous materials attract immense attention in the field of material science and organic synthesis. The diverse use of carbon allotrope and its functionalized materials is also noteworthy. In this book, we discuss about the physical and chemical properties of some carbon rich materials. The use of graphene and G-based materials is discussed by the authors. Supercapacitors are also made from graphene based materials and which is discussed in this book. The catalytic applications of graphene oxide in various multicomponent reactions is clearly represented. Authors also describe the diverse use of fullerene based materials and carbon nanotubes. We hope the rich contents of this book may be beneficial for readers.
Abhik Chatterjee can be described in three words as a : "Can of Cola"... just because he consumes a lot of carbonated water.
Born in the City of Nawabs, Lucknow, he later shifted to Mumbai to pursue engineering (read peer pressure), His love for Football (read Manchester United) infested itself at an early age. You can often find him drooling about the beautiful game on various social networking platforms.
Possessing a quiet and debatable sense of humor, Abhik loves gorging on pizza, playing footy and sipping on orange juice. Writing was a subdued passion every since he could figure out which end of the pen to write with. You can read up some of his earlier (attempts) work here : www.abhikchatterjee26.blogspot.com
Mentioning that you are a Manchester United fan is the easiest way to become friends with him! (or if you can offer him some pizza...)
