Understanding the adhesion between graphene and other materials is crucial for achieving more reliable graphene-based applications in electronic devices and nanocomposites. The ultra-thin profile of graphene, however, poses significant challenge to direct measurement of its adhesion property using conventional approaches. We show that there is a strong correlation between the morphology of graphene on a compliant substrate with patterned surface and the graphene-substrate adhesion.
The ASME Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT-2011 (31 May ~ 2 June 2011, Chicago, IL)
Symposium 7: Low Dimensional Carbon NanoMaterials: Properties and Applications
Deadline for abstract submission: 30 Jan. 2011
As announced on 5 Oct. 2010, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester won the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". Geim and Konstantin first reported the experimental observation of graphene in 2004 . Novoselov, 36, is also the youngest physics laureate since 1973.
We welcome applications for an Ellen William Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA.
