So,Whats Graphene???
3
The Graphene
4
The inventers Andre Geim and
Konstantin Novoselov
have shown that
carbon in such a flat
form has exceptional
properties
5
History
The theory behind the substance graphene was first explored by theoretical physicist
Philip Wallace in 1947.
Graphene in itself however wasn't discovered until 2004 in its full observable and testable
form.
There have also been a number of efforts to make very thin films of graphite by
mechanical exfoliation
A key advance in the science of graphene was brought by Andre Geim and Konstantin
Novoselov at ManchesterUniversity

Physical properties of Graphene
Density- density of
graphene 0.77 mg/m2.
Optical transparency-
graphene is almost
transparent with its ability of
absorb just 2.3% of light
falling on it.
Optical properties
Unexpectedly high opacity for an atomic monolayer
Mechanical properties
As of 2009, graphene appears to be one of the strongest materials ever tested.

Electronics Engineering
Will definitely replace silicon and
germanium as device material.
Conducting material on PCBs.
Single molecule sensors
Touchscreens
Graphene transistor.
Graphene integrated circuits.
Graphene chips.
