  "term": "Carbon material",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A solid substance consisting predominantly of the element carbon, which may also contain other elements either chemically bonded or physically mixed. These materials exhibit a wide variety of microstructures, ranging from highly crystalline forms like graphite and diamond to non-crystalline (amorphous) states such as glassy carbon. The term encompasses a broad class of substances including natural graphite, manufactured carbons like carbon black and activated carbon, and advanced materials such as carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.",
