8.1    INTRODUCTION

Carbon nanostructures have been gaining considerable interest over the last three decades after the discovery of fullerenes in 1985 showed the possibility of stable curvatures of carbon forms [1]. Elongated forms of fullerenes in the shape of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanocones have become the focus of intense research over the last two decades [2]. The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in the flat ...
