Carbon for Sensing Devices

Abstract

In carbon materials technology the degree of development can be used to classify the various kinds of available carbon materials in three different stages. Conventional carbon materials include graphite blocks, the family of carbon blacks, activated carbons and diamond. Among the newly developed materials two types can be distinguished: nanotextured carbons and nanosized carbons. Nanotextured carbons comprise a wide range of carbon structures from carbon fibers, glass-like carbons or pyrolitic carbons to diamond-like carbon materials. Among nanosized carbons (or nanocarbons) fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene can be quoted.
