Graphene Quantum Dots and their Derived Nanocomposites

Auteur

Ayesha Kausar currently works for the National Centre for Physics in Islamabad, Pakistan. She was previously affiliated with Quaid-i-Azam University and the National University of Sciences and Technology, both in Islamabad, Pakistan. She obtained her PhD from Quaid-i-Azam University and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, South Korea. Dr. Kausar's current research interests include the design, fabrication, characterization, and exploration of structure-property relationships and potential prospects of nanocomposites, polymeric nanocomposites, polymeric composites, polymeric nanoparticles, polymer dots, nanocarbon materials (graphene and derivatives, carbon nanotube, nano-diamond, carbon nano-onion, carbon nano-coil, carbon nanobelt, carbon nano-disk, carbon dot, and other nanocarbons), hybrid materials, eco-friendly materials, nanocomposite nanofibers, and nanofoam architectures. Consideration of morphological, mechanical, thermal, electrical, anticorrosion, barrier, flame retardant, radiation shielding, biomedical, and other essential materials properties for aerospace, automotive, fuel cell membranes, Li-ion battery electrodes, electronics, sensors, solar cells, water treatment, gas separation, textiles, energy production and storage devices, biomaterials, and other technical relevance are among her notable research concerns.

Graphene Quantum Dots and their Derived Nanocomposites: Fundamentals and Applications presents the latest advances, with emphasis placed on the structure, design, properties, processing, and technical relevance of graphene quantum dots in thermosets, thermoplastics, conducting, rubbery, and inorganic matrix nanocomposites. Applications of graphene quantum dot reinforced nanocomposites are discussed in applications in energy storage and conversion (supercapacitors, Li ion batteries, solar cells), in coatings, radiation protection, for environmental sustainability, and for biomedical (biosensing, imaging, drug therapy) systems.

The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, and nanotechnologists working on the research and development of high-performance graphene quantum dots-based nanomaterials.
