Graphene: Properties, Synthesis and Applications

Since its discovery in 2004, Graphene has captivated the attention of the worldwide scientific community inducing academia, government and industry. The remarkable blend of mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties of graphene stem from its unique two-dimensional single carbon atom thick hexagonal honeycomb lattice. In this ENGTalk, Dr. Nikhil A. Koratkar from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Engineering describes the structure, properties, synthesis and applications of graphene-based materials.
