Graphene Nanomaterials

Since the discovery of graphene as a distinct allotrope of carbon, with its potential to further increase the speed of microprocessors beyond 30 peta hertz, there has been a void in resources for students and practitioners-until now. This book provides information on the synthesis, characterization, application development, scaleup, stability analysis and structure property relations of graphene nanomaterials. Different methods of fabrication of graphenes are included, and the author discusses cost of production starting from capital costs, operating costs, and total optimal costs. These different processes to make graphene include: Roll to Roll Transfer Process, Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition, Atmospheric Plug Flow Reactor, APFR, Dispersion Using NMP, and numerous others. Sharma details the diffusion time calculations in intercalation, and exfoliation processes using both Fick and hyperbolic diffusion models.
