Multifunctional Carbon Nano-Onion Based Nanocomposites: Fundamentals, Design and Applications presents an in-depth exploration of carbon nano-onions (CNOs), focusing on their structure, synthesis, and the advanced properties that make them significant in nanotechnology. This comprehensive guide methodically discusses how CNOs are designed, fabricated, and utilized in a variety of nanocomposite materials. Readers are introduced to the unique microstructural, electrical, thermal, mechanical, tribological, and biological characteristics of CNOs, making this book essential for understanding their current and future roles in scientific and technological advancements.

In addition to foundational knowledge, the book thoroughly examines CNOs' integration into a wide range of matrices, such as thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, rubbers, metals, and metal oxides. It addresses applications in environmental sustainability, energy storage and conversion--including solar cells and lithium-ion batteries--as well as electronics, sensors, and biomedical fields. The text also considers the economic and industrial-scale production aspects of CNOs, alongside the challenges and opportunities in ongoing research.
