报告内容摘要：
The nanoscale graphene platelet (NGP) or graphene nano-sheet is an emerging class of nano materials. An NGP is a nanoscale platelet composed of one or more layers of a graphene plane, with a platelet thickness from less than 0.34 nm to 100 nm. In a graphene plane, carbon atoms occupy a 2-D hexagonal lattice in which carbon atoms are bonded together through strong in-plane covalent bonds. In the c-axis or thickness direction, several graphene planes may be weakly bonded together through van der Waals forces to form a multi-layer NGP. An NGP may be viewed as a flattened sheet of a carbon nano-tube (CNT), with a single-layer NGP corresponding to a single-wall CNT and a multi-layer NGP corresponding to a multi-wall CNT. NGPs are predicted to have a range of unusual physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Although practical electronic device applications for graphene are not envisioned to occur within the next 5-10 years, its application as a nano filler in a composite material is imminent. However, the availability of processable graphene sheets in large quantities is essential to the success in exploiting composite and other applications for graphene. This presentation begins by a description of the processes for producing NGPs and their composites, which is followed by a discussion on the properties and application of NGPs and their nanocomposites.
