Carbon Materials: Surface Chemistry and Biomedical Applications

摘要

The special section "Carbon materials: surface chemistry and biomedical applications" in this issue of pss(a) gathers 19 articles that originate from presentations at the E-MRS 2014 Spring meeting -Symposium P. These papers are dealing with recent results on the growth, properties and applications of different carbon materials from bulk materials (diamond or graphite) to carbon nanostructures (nanotubes, fullerenes) and graphene, including carbon nanomaterials like nanodiamonds, graphene nanoplatelets, nanofibers, and carbon dots.
