Abstract: Nanomaterials are materials with at least one external dimension measuring approximately 1 to 100 nm. They play an important role in the fabrication of many devices and modified materials because of their unique physical and chemical properties, such as a large surface-area-to-volume ratio, and their high mechanical strength. This chapter discusses the synthesis, classification, and characterization of nanomaterials. Zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional nanostructured materials are discussed. The synthesis of nanomaterials, including top-down and bottom-up approaches, and various chemical, physical, and mechanical methods are addressed. The applications of nanomaterials and nanoparticles incorporated into polymeric nanomaterials in adsorption and membrane processes are also discussed.

The rise of graphene
TL;DR: Owing to its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where quantum relativistic phenomena can now be mimicked and tested in table-top experiments.

Preparation of graphitic acid
Abstract: The preparation of graphitic oxide by methods described in the literature is time consuming and hazardous. A rapid, relatively safe method has been developed for preparing graphitic oxide from graphite in what is essentially an anhydrous mixture of sulfuric acid, sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate.
