Committee Expertise
Knowledge and understanding of all forms of carbon science, engineering and technology including:
- Natural carbons (geological and extraterrestrial carbons)
- Carbons grown or deposited from gas phase and plasmas (nanocarbons, diamonds, templated carbons...)
- Carbons from “soft” precursors (pitches, polymers), including their primary and secondary carbonisation, graphitisation
- Energy storage and conversion
Carbon-based composites, nanocomposites, and components (fibres, nanotubes, matrices,…) for mechanical properties (thermo- structural, tribological…) - Chemical and physical modifications: functionalisation, doping, intercalation, exfoliation, solid state transformations
- Liquid and gas storage, adsorption (and environmental uses)
- Electronic, optical, opto-electronic properties and applications (field emission, sensors, circuitry,…)
- Nuclear and solar applications, thermal management
- Carbons related to biology, toxicity, and health
- Advances in processing, characterisation, and modelling
