Graphene

This book highlights the versatility of graphene focusing on the background of graphene, its overall structure, superior properties, fabrication routes, characterization techniques, graphene composites/derivatives, and potential applications. A remarkable surge in interest for graphene and its applications has resulted in a substantial increase in the number of publications in terms of reviews and scientific articles, books and patents. Therefore, this book essentially addresses a wide range of graphene research and provides a great resource for beginners, students in sciences or engineering, researchers, professionals, and materials scientists.

Mr. Sachin Sharma Ashok Kumar obtained both his B.S. degree (Hons.) and M.S. (Hons.) in Mechanical Engineering minor in Materials Science from Wichita State University, USA, in years 2011 and 2012, respectively. He joined University of Malaya, Malaysia, where he is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering in the Department of Physics. His previous research was focused on the synthesis of graphene/graphene oxide thin films incorporated with carbon fiber reinforced composites via three-dimensional composite concepts against the effects of lightning strikes for aircraft and various other engineering applications. His current research involves the synthesis of super-hydrophobic graphene-based polymer nanocomposite coatings for underwater applications.
