As a matter of fact, it is the backbone of all organic (chemistry) compounds forming different kinds of bonds. Carbon: The Black, the Gray and the Transparent is not a complete scientific history of the material, but a book that describes key discoveries about this old faithful element while encouraging broader perspectives and approaches to its research due to its vast applications. All allotropes of carbon are described in this book, along with their properties, uses, and methods of procurement or manufacturing. Black carbon is represented by coal, gray carbon is represented by graphite, and transparent carbon is represented by diamond. 606 $aEngineering?Materials 606 $aInorganic chemistry 606 $aCeramics 606 $aGlass 606 $aComposites (Materials) 606 $aComposite materials 606 $aMaterials science 606 $aFossil fuels 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aMaterials Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T28000 606 $aInorganic Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C16008 606 $aCeramics, Glass, Composites, Natural Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z18000 606 $aCharacterization and Evaluation of Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000 606 $aFossil Fuels (incl.
