2D materials, or 'ultrathin films', are materials that have one dimension in the nanoscale and are extended in the other two dimensions. The physicochemical properties of these nanostructures and their large surface area with abundant accessible active sites make them attractive components for a wide range of applications including electronic and optical devices, membranes, drug delivery systems, and multimodal contrast agents, among others. This multidisciplinary book will provide a concise introduction to the fundamentals, applications and recent trends in the field of 2D materials, with a focus on their internal structure. It will present an overview of the synthesis and characterization of 2D materials, including nanocomposites and layered structures. The discussion of applications will include clean energy, sensors, biomedicine, and surface modification. The book will conclude with perspectives, concerns, and challenges in the field, including stability, reproducibility, biocompatibility, and recycling of the materials.
