New Research from Pusan National University Sheds Light on Nature of Friction in Multi-layered Graphene

New study provides insights into how surface structures influence nanoscale friction in this promising 2D material
March 15, 2022
Multi-layered graphene is a promising carbon-based nanomaterial for a variety of next-generation technologies, but the relationships between its surface structures and properties are not entirely clear. Now, in a recent study, Pusan National University scientists analyze how surface structures like wrinkles and folded networks affect nanoscale friction in multi-layered graphene. Their findings could pave the way for graphene-based solid lubricants and micro/nano-scale mechanical devices.
Graphene, which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, is the poster child of carbon-based 2D nanomaterials. It has many attractive properties that could be exploited in next-generation electronics, … Read More → "New Research from Pusan National University Sheds Light on Nature of Friction in Multi-layered Graphene"
