Graphitic Nanofibers: A Review of Practical and Potential Applications - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Juzer Jangbarwala is currently CEO of Voltek. His work spans over

35 years, primarily in commercializing of innovative technologies.

He has established water treatment companies around his own

patents, and has always been intimately involved with the technical

as well as the business aspects of his companies. To commercialize

his inventions, he started Catalyx, a technology incubator in 2001,

which is when he got involved with nanomaterials, specifically

graphitic nanofibers. Many of the technologies developed involved

graphitic nanofibers either directly or indirectly. He established

Voltek in 2015. Among the IP portfolio of Voltek are 5 issued

patents and several pending patents utilizing graphitic nanofibers

in the fields of water and wastewater treatment, waste to fuels

and catalysis. He has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Lehigh

University, Bethlehem, PA. and holds more than 20 patents.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The world of nanomaterials is complex; there is dubiety as well

as unrealistic optimism about costs, practicality, timing for the

availability of, and the true capabilities of products featured in

the news. The progress of the industry is being affected from

the incertitude generated by the multitudinous names used,

coupled with lack of clarity and standardization in the definitions

for carbonaceous nanomaterials, such as graphene, graphene

oxide, nanographene, nanographene flakes, nanographite flakes,

graphene nanoribbons, single-layer graphene, few-layer graphene,

nanographite, nanotubes, nanofibers.

In this perspicuous book about the carbonaceous nanomaterial

domain, the author concisely covers nomenclature, characteristics,

applications, costs, and manufacturing; all with the cardinal goal

to offer the reader a reality check by delineating the steps to

commercialization. Along the way, he also examines the cost impact

of the touted applications and the boundaries of market adoption.

Through references and personal experience, the author makes

a compelling case for the market readiness of a mostly neglected

class of nanomaterials known as Graphitic Nanofibers.

Includes varied levels of technical focus and financial analyses to

appeal to a range of skills and interests.
