 | An Introduction to the Fundamental and Industrial Applications By Madhuri Sharon and Maheshwar Sharon Series: Advanced Materials Series Copyright: 2015 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781118842560 | Hardcover | 304 pages Price: $175.00 USD  |
One Line Description
This is the first book on the market to look at the practical side of how to use and implement graphene in manufacturing.
Audience
This book is intended for new entrants and active researchers, such as materials scientists, in the field of graphene science and technology in industry and academia, as well government and policy-making officials responsible for research and innovation. Entrepreneurs and industrialists venturing into applications of graphene will find the book especially important, as will students (undergraduate upwards) and interested lay persons.

Description
Often described as a “miracle material”, graphene’s potential applications are extraordinary, ranging from nanoscale ‘green’ technologies, to sensors, conductive coatings, and a possible replacement for silicon.
Graphene: An Introduction to the Fundamentals and Industrial Applications is written in an accessible and concise style as it describes current and next generation applications and how these can be immediately implemented at the manufacturing and business levels. After reading the book, the reader will have sufficient knowledge and background to move forward independently in to graphene R&D and how to apply the knowledge. Although the book is self-contained, it has copious references to enable further reading.
After giving a brief history of graphene the book moves on to providing detail on:
• The structure and various properties of graphene
• Nanographene and carbon quantum dots (C-dots) including their structure, properties, fabrication, and applications
• Identification and characterization methods of graphene
• Engineering properties of graphene (such as structural, super structures, electronic, band gap)
• Applications of graphene such as sensors, power generation, and biodevices)
• Mass production of graphene from lab to industry (scaling up), in particular how to get high-quality graphene using techniques such as exfoliation and Reduction as well as using several deposition techniques such as CVD, solvo-thermal methods, etc.
• Direct transfer or roll-to-roll transfer of a graphene sheet using several methods and describes the steps and processes that need to be taken
• Snapshot of the graphene industry, commercialization challenges, and economics by providing data on companies now involved with graphene in mining, production, services, and breaks down the end-user markets by industrial sectors.
