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.
