Graphene: Synthesis, Properties, Technology and Applications

Graphene: Synthesis, Properties, Technology and Applications discusses recent advances in this important research field. It focuses on the chemistry, synthesis, functionalization, and applications of graphene-based materials (WS2 and its hybrids). The book begins with a general introduction to graphene, including its manufacture and characterization. Advanced synthesis methods are then addressed as well as material properties. The final section of the book focuses on graphene-based devices and how these have been incorporated successfully into various technological fields. Environmental, and health and safety aspects are also discussed as well as market initiatives and commercial aspects. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, physicists, and engineers, industrial R&D, and manufacturers, working on the fabrication of graphene-based devices for a broad range of advanced applications.
