The nanosaence and technology has had an extraordinary season of development and excitement in the last few decades. Furthermore, advanced carbon nanomaterial is one of the most active and hot research fields in the world.The potential applications of advanced carbon nanomaterials now enjoy worldwide attention. Especially, carbon nanotubes and graphene appear to take a lead in their applications. Carbon nanotubes and graphene are nanostructured carbon materials having large aspect ratios, extremely high Young's modulus and mechanical strength, as well as superior electrical and thermal conductivities. Incorporation of a small amount of carbon nanotubes or graphene into metals and ceramics leads to the formation of high performance and functional nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and physical properties.

Dr. Zhao Tingkai is a professor of materials science and engineer- ing at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in Xi'an, China. He received his PhD degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU, China) in 2005 and studied as a postdoctoral research fellow at XJTU from 2005 to 2007, and visited Northwestern University (Evanston, USA) and University of Oxford (Oxford, UK) as visiting scholar. His research group mainly investigates the synthesis, struc-ture and performance of advanced carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes (aspecially amorphous carbon nanotubes), graphene, carbon foam as well as pitch modification, and their applications on solar cell, Iithium ion battery, electrochemical devices and military fields. He has also contributed to the area of non-ferrous metals hydro-metallurgy.
