Graphene & 2D Materials: From Research to Applications

THz applications of 2D materials: Graphene and beyond

Monolayer graphene, successfully isolated in 2004, is the firstmember of the class ofmaterials called twodimensional (2D) materials. Since then, 2D materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), silicene and phosphorene have been extensively investigated owing to their extraordinary mechanical, chemical, and physical properties. Furthermore, some of t...

Recent developments in superhydrophobic graphene and graphene-related materials: from preparation to potential applications.

In the past decade, graphene has revealed a cornucopia of both fundamental science and potential applications due to its exceptional electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. Recently, increasing effort has been devoted to exploiting its new features, for example, wetting properties. Benefitting from its inherent material properties, graphene shows great potential for the fabrica...

Determining the Gaussian Modulus and Edge Properties of 2D Materials: From Graphene to Lipid Bilayers.

The dominant deformation behavior of two-dimensional materials (bending) is primarily governed by just two parameters: bending rigidity and the Gaussian modulus. These properties also set the energy scale for various important physical and biological processes such as pore formation, cell fission and generally, any event accompanied by a topological change. Unlike the bending rigidity, the Gaus...
