The 1st Edition of Carbon Nano-onions: Synthesis, Computational Modeling, Properties, and Applications provides a detailed investigation of multilayered carbon nanostructures. Authored by Esmaeal Ghavanloo and Narsimha Mamidi, this text establishes a clear technical foundation for evaluating physical characteristics and theoretical framework boundaries in nanoscale carbon research.

Mathematical and computational modeling methods form a major focus of the text, presenting precise analytical tools to predict carbon nano-onion behavior. The content incorporates continuum approximation models along with molecular dynamics simulations, offering structured methodology to calculate structural mechanics and analyze vibration characteristics under diverse physical settings.

Beyond baseline modeling, the volume explores surface chemical modification through covalent and non-covalent functionalization. Detailed attention is given to doping mechanisms involving metals and heteroatoms. This comprehensive coverage provides essential value for academic researchers and industrial researchers seeking to understand and manipulate carbon nanomaterial properties.
