Publication of a Book by a Shiraz University Faculty Member by Elsevier International Publishers

According to the Iran Book News Agency (IBNA) in Shiraz, this 264-page book, structured into 9 chapters, is considered a comprehensive and specialized resource in the field of carbon nano-onions worldwide.

This work, aiming to bridge theoretical foundations, synthesis methods, and industrial applications of these multi-layered nanostructures, has been authored by Esmaeil Ghavanloo, a faculty member at Shiraz University, and Narasimha Mamidi, a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The book ‘Carbon Nano-onions’ provides a systematic review of the molecular structure, manufacturing methods, purification, and identification of carbon nano-onions, and introduces mathematical and computational models for predicting the behavior of these nanostructures.

Furthermore, while examining the current applications of carbon nano-onions, the book addresses the new capacities and prospects of these materials in fields such as energy storage, water purification systems, targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging, and the development of advanced composite materials.

Esmaeil Ghavanloo, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Shiraz University, and one of the world’s top 2% scientists, had previously published two other scientific books with the reputable Springer publishers, one of which successfully received the ‘Superior Book’ title from the Standing Committee for Scientific and Technological Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMSTECH).

This work, currently published on the Elsevier platform, serves as a resource for researchers, engineers, and industrial professionals in the nanotechnology field.
