Demonstrates the unique place in nanotechnology and nanoscience that carbon nanomaterials occupy owing to their exceptional chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Focusing on materials rather than mechanics, it discusses the key roles of materials science and engineering in the development of composite materials.
