C. N. R. Rao obtained his Ph.D. from Purdue University, USA, and D.Sc. from Mysore University. Apart from other appointments throughout the years, C. N. R. Rao was the Director of the Indian Institute of Science (1984-94), of which he now is an Honorary Professor, and the President of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, where he holds the Linus Pauling Research Professorship and Honorary Presidency. His main research interests are in solid state and materials chemistry, molecular structure and spectroscopy. He is a member of numerous science academies worldwide and has received many national and international honours. He published over 1300 research papers and books like "The Chemistry of Nanomaterials" and "Nanomaterials Chemistry" with Wiley-VCH.

"This book will be useful to students, teachers, and researchers in material science interested in learning about and taking part in the exciting developments based on graphene." ( IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine , 1 January 2014)
