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.
