Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Carbon Nanostructures

This course covers the synthesis, structure, and properties of various carbon nanostructures such as fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene, and boron nanoribbons. The learning outcomes include understanding the innovative preparation, characterization, and mechanics of these materials. The course teaches about high energy carbon atoms, graphene oxide, and the mechanical properties of nanostructures. The teaching method involves a lecture format, as demonstrated in the MRS David Turnbull Lectureship Award talk by Rodney S. Ruoff. The intended audience for this course includes researchers, scientists, and individuals interested in the field of materials science and nanotechnology.
