PREFACE

Over the past few decades, carbon nanofibers(CNFs) have been interested and
investigated in both fundamental scientific research and practical applications, since it
holds the highest chemical stability, electrical conductivity, and high energy-efficiency,
based on the fine graphite crystalline structure of the carbon material on fibers.
Moreover, the carbon nanofibers have a wider specific surface area as compared to that
of general carbon materials. Carbon nanofibers among various allotropes of carbon are
fibrous carbon materials with less than 1 µm thickness and over 90% carbon content and
can take various forms such as herringbone, antler, platelet, spiral, etc. For that reason,
carbon nanofibers belong to the new class of superior engineered materials owing to their
exceptional mechanical and electrical properties. Carbon nanofibers can be prepared by
many technologies such as arc-discharge, laser vaporization, electrospinning and
chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Such carbon nanofibers can be used in various
applications such as composite material, electromagnetic wave shielding material, ultra-
thin display devices, carbon semiconductors, sensor material, catalyst support and anode
materials of Li secondary batteries.
This book aims to introduce the fundamental aspects of the preparation methods,
physicochemical properties and characterization of carbon nanofibers with the various
analytical techniques including applications of these fancy materials. We hope that this
book would be helpful to enhance an understanding and broaden a knowledge of carbon
nanofibers to the undergraduate, graduate students, scientists and engineers who are
interested in carbon nanomaterials.
