Graphene Science Handbook : Mechanical and Chemical Properties

An In-Depth Look at the Outstanding Properties of GrapheneThe Graphene Science Handbook is a six-volume set that describes graphene’s special structural, electrical, and chemical properties.

The book considers how these properties can be used in different applications (including the development of batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaic cells, and supercapacitors based on graphene) and produced on a massive and global scale.

Volume One: Fabrication MethodsVolume Two: Nanostructure and Atomic ArrangementVolume Three: Electrical and Optical PropertiesVolume Four: Mechanical and Chemical PropertiesVolume Five: Size-Dependent PropertiesVolume Six: Applications and IndustrializationThis handbook describes the fabrication methods of graphene; the nanostructure and atomic arrangement of graphene; graphene’s electrical and optical properties; the mechanical and chemical properties of graphene; the size effects in graphene, characterization, and applications based on size-affected properties; and the application and industrialization of graphene. Volume four is dedicated to the mechanical and chemical properties of graphene and covers: Mechanical properties using a continuum elastic model introduced to describe graphene’s elastic behaviorResults of theoretical investigations of the mechanical properties of graphene structuresMechanical stabilities and properties of graphene under various strainsDifferent types of graphene devices for biomolecule and gas sensingPrinted graphene-based electrochemical sensor technologyVarious types of graphene-based electrochemical sensorsThe chemical vapor deposition of graphene on copperStrategies covering graphene modificationGraphene in solar cells, including transparent electrodes, active layers, and interface layerChanges at the micrometric and nanometric scales, and more
