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
